Luciferasi is a project designed and created ad hoc for ALA; right from the start it measured itself against the need for daily use and a non-dedicated spatiality, as is a museum, a foundation or a gallery. My concern was that it could be capable of activating the responsibility, thought and imagination of those who walk through those rooms every day and work there for hours, devoting part of their lives. At the same time I wanted to avoid any form of interactivity, which always feels like forced and excessive.

Like two parasites, the sculptures anchor high up in the building and constantly remain in a state of listening, calibration and visual rendering. Far from any possible physical contact, they are instead shaped by a “touch”, by a making, by a participation which is collective, unanimous and which merges and coalesces there, for a moment. The luminous variation, however wide its range may be, is always delicate, close to natural nuances and shapes, never shouted or disturbing.

Luciferasi is a passing of the torch: the main architects and authors of that light modulation are all the people who work together and engage with the company.
