L’illuminazione dei grattacieli a Canary Wharf, rende uno dei due principali centri finanziari di Londra un posto con un’ atmosfera magica, il posto ideale per l’istallazione “Voyage” di Aether & Hemera una flotta di 300 barchette che sulle onde del Tamigi si accendono creando effetti luminosi, pattern geometrici, onde di colore in movimento.Tra le mille luci di Natale impossibile che non abbiate notato la scenografia spettacolare di tutta la flotta, sia dalle finestre degli edifici vicini o dal ponte, dove è possibile apprezzare il paesaggio dinamico. Ma magari tanti di voi, non sanno che questa istallazione e’ tutta italiana, dietro Aether & Hemera (ovvero il dio e la dea della luce del giorno) si nasconde l’architetto Claudio Benghi e Gloria Ronchi l’artista dell’illuminazione.

In Italian “giallo” means yellow.
Giallo might be a lemon, the colour of a jumper and even a pair of trousers.
But what would you think if you heard the phrase mi piacciono i gialli? or guardo un giallo or leggo molto i gialli.
Because in Italian”giallo” is also a noun. We refer to a thriller book, movie or a detective story as un giallo. The origin of the use of this word in these contexts derives from the yellow covers of the very first thriller books published in Italy.
