Densità Fluorescenti (Fluorescent Densities)
Alessando Lupi’s research on light and space started in 1997. His works called “Densità
fluorescenti” (Fluorescent Densities) are made of polyamide threads painted one by one
with fluorescent and/or photoluminescent paint. He then projects a black light.
Subjects are often three-dimensional bodies that dialogue with the space in a kinetic or
static way, sometimes through sounds expressly composed for the work. Every piece
creates its own world, concentrating on the idea of “inversion”, that is, on the possibility of
offering to the spectator the opposite point of view from the expected or predicted one. In
his works the dichotomy of opposite situations, like exterior-interior, freedom-prison or lifedeath are annulated by the almost contemporary perception of these two aspects without,
nevertheless, favoring any perceptive or hierarchic prevalence.

Albero (Tree), 2009
“Albero” was realized for the Freeshout Festival in Prato, Italy. I reconstructed a 6 m. dead
tree inside a big space that generated a fake shadow of itself alive, with leaves.
For this, I have studied the behavior of light and shadow, calculating the focal lengths
based on the departing point of light. In this work space and light evoke a contradiction in
terms of time: past and future, life and death. For the occasion I also made a final
performance in which I cut the tree with a power saw.

Ombre, (Shadows), 2003
This interactive work was realized in a public space in Genoa, Italy. A screen of opaline
reproduces the shadow of the people passing as well as imaginary pre recorded shadows.
When someone passed between the panel and the projector a sensor changed the
channel and the shadows shifted from virtual and imaginary to the real one of the person
moving.
