Jacopo Foggini presents Devotion, a collection of lights made from the same plastic used in the production of indicators for cars e.g. Fiats. There is a massive chandelier, in the shape of a heart which is approximately 8m deep by 6m wide, and it is suspended in the dark church Basilica di Sant' Eufemia. (Saint Eufemia lived in the ancient town of Chalcedon, near Istanbul, between the C3rd and C4th and was brutally tortured for her beliefs by the Roman emperor Diocletian. She was finally placed in the arena where lions were sent out to kill her but they refused, and, instead just licked her wounds. It is believed that she died of wounds from a wild bear in the arena).
It's stunning the lights are like Matisse's Jazz prints and the Pop posters of Andy Warhol, morfed into 3D lights. What a powerful installation the lights are bathed in the smell of incense Holy Smoke and saturated by the sound of classic La Scala operatic vibratos now this is impressive, highly emotional and dramatic. This is the opera of design theatre, the Opera Theatre the strings holding up the heart that is holding down the steeple is pulling the heart strings of the people who enter this Holy emotionally charged electrical storm. It's really a Surreal classic site, a Futurist's paradise and Jacopo Foggini has stolen my heart, this piece was and still is a show stopper.
