Shooting Stars is a lighting installation, created in collaboration with the National Institute for Astrophysics in Italy. It is a “wishes machine”: When a meteorite impacts our atmosphere, we see the flash in real time, and that is the moment to make a wish.
The Shooting Stars installation is also being exhibited this summer at the Italian Institute of Culture in Madrid and will be presented across South America. In the next year, it will be part of an exhibition at the Museum Saint-Ex in Reims, France.
With the support of Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Atene, in collaboration with the National Institute for Astrophysics in Medicina (Bologna), Italy.
