BLANK, a light art installation created by Felice Limosani for Targetti at Milan Design Week 2022"Is the Blank also a colour? The Blank is a colour of the mind. The mind has a colour that we never see because some other colour always passes through our minds and superimposes itself on our gaze." Italo Calvino, 1985
These words by the writer Italo Calvino inspired Felice Limosani, multidisciplinary artist of international level, when asked by Targetti to create a light art installation to be presented at the Milano Design Week 2022 .
Blank, an evocative title full of references. In Limosani’s vision Blank is not just a word but a concept around which colour becomes an echo that illuminates and inspires, a metaphor with a fascinating aura that induces reflection.
Through the simple and instinctive gesture of walking, visitors will immerse themselves in colours that materialize in the space of the installation through lines of light that transform the floor into a dimension suspended between atmosphere, aesthetics, and art.
The artist, an interpreter and innovator of Digital Humanities, updates and interprets Calvino's thought through light, a sensorial and emotional phenomenon that is not limited to being a mere technology or the pure fulfilment of a function.
“The project dialogues through perception and contemplation to remind us that emptiness is not only a physical dimension, but also a mental, internal, and spiritual one. We can colour and fill it with awareness, knowledge, and Humanity,” said Felice Limosani.
