The occasion for creating a visual installation at the Archaeological Museum resulted in the idea of a meeting between the archaeological heritage of Frankfurt and the one of the imperial capital, the motherland of a culture that left many witnesses of its passage also in that German city.
Many famed items from the Rome findings will go to visit the German museum, showing themselves as light’s features. A discrete, magnificent homage the Roman art going beyond the borders, for paing a salute, as a symbolic twinning, the places reached during its millenarian cultural expansion.Ephemeral “gate watchers”, these light’s figures will alternate, one for each evening of the event’s schedule, in the inner garden facing the museum’s foyer, showing the greatness and power of a speechless and motionless presence.
