Massimo Uberti, a leading light artist, has chosen the cloister as the most suitable venue to house his large light installation DREAMS OF A POSSIBLE CITY. Tending to the infinity (27 metres in diameter and 14 metres high). DREAMS OF A POSSIBLE CITY by Massimo Uberti is a site specific installation, realized with white neon sources suspended in the sky into a continuum with the stars in the night sky above. Massimo Uberti’s site-specific project is a dream of an infinite ideal city, whose star shape is reminiscent of the layout of Sforzinda, the ideal city designed by Antonio Averlino, known as Filarete, around 1465.
White neon was chosen as a luminous symbol of our cities’ modern, nocturnal vitality, so that once observers have entered the cloister’s courtyard, they will find themselves inside the embrace of a geometry typical of a world of the past, one that is far away from us and yet uncannily familiar.
Uberti tells a dream from Renaissance and creates an ideal space: venturing on the ideal possible city each spectator encounters his sensitive, emotional side and feels a sense of wide beauty. The architecture is archaic and contemporary at the same time, featuring lines that stand for the streets of a possible city whose rhythms are marked by light. A city at which centre is the man still able to dream and to look upwards.
