GRAND HOTEL TIMEO

Il Tempio della Luce, 2021

Curator Vittorio Erlindo

Performance by Evolution Dance Theater

​

"The Temple of Light"  by Nicola Evangelisti was presented on July 19 at the Giardini di Luce opening at the Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo (LVMH Group) in Taormina.

​

The work has monumental dimensions and takes advantage of the day-night duality.

Daylight transforms the installation into a white geometric structure that encloses the colors and beauty of the Taormina landscape: the sky, Etna, the Ionian sea, the garden of the Grand Hotel Timeo become the protagonists of a sacred space.

The installation, crossed by sunlight, integrates with the environment providing a different perception.

At night, thanks to ultraviolet light, the installation by Evangelisti takes on a range of phosphorescent colors.

Symbol of peace, unity and brotherhood among peoples, it is conceived as an open, ecumenical, universal temple.
