'Dry Days - Tropical Nights' is an installation that borrows its name from two environmental indicators definingthe severity of heat during a given period in a given area. According to these indicators, within a few hundred years, the Po Valley and Italy will turn into a tropical landscape with desert areas. The site-specific project is imagined as a dazzling vision that reaches out to the architecture of the iconic building designed by Arrigo Arrighetti in the heart of Milan that will be soon demolished. The installation transformed the façade and the interior of the building as a sort of oasis that is both a shimmering mirage and an ominous omen of the near future.
The project includes a soundscape designed by Lechuga Zafiro.
