2009
In 2009 Pier Callegarini got a new inspiration while he saw in just a few seconds the night disappearing: “I’ve been illuminated in 2009 while travelling by plane overseas and I just saw in a few seconds the night becoming a new day, and so the beautiful stars vanishing; but the stars were there as well, hidden by the day light!
That was my ILLUMINATION: the TRIPLED.
Triple, like the three phases for creating the Artwork and the Three emotions that it raises whent it’s turned off, when it’s turned on in the dark or when it’s on and lighted up by the surrounding light.
Trip, the travel as source of inspiration..
Led, my “canvas”..
I love the Light, without Light there is no life.
I love the Darkness to discover the Light”
