FESTIVAL CONCÉNTRICO

“The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul in which all its motions are suspended, with a certain degree of horror. In this case the mind is so entirely filled with its object, that it can entertain no other, nor by consequence reason upon that object which employs it. Hence arises the great power of the sublime, which, far from being produced by them, anticipates our reasonings, and precipitates us with irresistible force.” Edmund Burke. A Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and the Beautiful. 1757

There is always surprise in the appearance of strange objects in the territory; objects whose origin is unknown, their nature enigmatic and their purpose inscrutable. The mere introduction of an abstract object into a known landscape transforms a tilled and therefore comfortable terrain into a disturbing one. A simple but vibrant object is proposed, constantly changing with the light. At night, the interior lighting turns it into a beacon of solitude that feeds our fantasy.
