A dark, vibrant, intense atmosphere and a large-scale space where light sculptures stand out like giant totems: this is Metamorphosis, Foscarini’s surprising installation as part of Fuorisalone 2011. A metamorphosis, by definition, is a transformation and this concept of change is reinterpreted by Foscarini lamps, which are repeated, rotated, repositioned and multiplied to form monuments of light: a combination of 7 models from the collection and a total of 464 lamps that are deconstructed, reinterpreted and reconstructed in 22 light sculptures, some of which are almost 9 metres in height.
The multi-faceted nature of the collection produces an extremely theatrical scene. Every sculpture presents visitors with the personality and features of the model of which it is made, with a series of light and sound choreographies that highlight the material, distinctive features and spirit of each lamp in a performance that is an emotional crescendo. Foscarini’s models dazzle with their own light, but the light choreography is also enhanced by unique visual effects by famous lighting designer A.J. Weissbard.
As in a concert, music by Francesco Morosini orchestrates the changes and transformations of each sculpture. The public is surrounded by a magical atmosphere that evokes the emotion of metamorphosis: from an industrially-produced element to a light sculpture. This is an incredible event in which you can experience all the emotion that Foscarini lights transmit.
