Invisible Dimensions

Showed at Malpensa airport in Milan, Invisible Dimensions represents the work of Carlo Bernardini, an artist who, since the nineties, has been conducting experimental research based on the element light-space, creating installations of fiber optic and sculptures.

For La Porta di Milano, Carlo Bernardini created a work composed of strands of optical fibers that draw three bright geometric figures, which seem to move and change their form and contour, constantly giving the impression of being in front of  different installations and leading the visitor into a constellation or one interstellar space.

The Invisible Dimensions, in experimental space, are guessed beyond their visible size, as they are  not perceptible to the human eye and therefore considered undetectable. Bernardini’s work may be an attempt to see exactly this, namely the projection of the space beyond the visible size. Architect of light, Carlo Bernardini bases his visual research on the concept of perceptive transformation, where the  light creates a design in the space, that changes according to the viewer’s movement within that space itself.

“The shape of the space redesigned by optical fiber – reminds Carlo Bernardini – can intuitively be perceived as a reading of the space through new visual coordinates, dictated by light structures that shape the environment, leaving us to guess exactly those that may be the ‘extra’ dimensions that escape our perception”.
