The sight is sure to impress those who visit the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli this Design Week. Ukrainian artist Aljoscha, whose creations have been described as “biofuturistic,” has designed a site-specific installation that hangs in the center of the nave.
It is a semi-transparent work, shaded and frayed, iridescent, and different from every perspective. It dialogues with the church’s 16th-century interior not by mimesis, not by assonance, but by contrast and “interference”.
