Iginio De Luca's Morse Code Installation at Casa Rossa in Alberobello

Iginio De Luca (born 1966 in Formia, lives in Rome) has created a site-specific installation for Casa Rossa in Alberobello, Italy, as part of the Apulia Land Art Festival 2021. The work, developed during an artist residency, transforms the building into a 'speaking' architecture using Morse code lights. De Luca engaged the local community, collecting their intimate thoughts and memories about the house, which he then translated into a visual language blending gesture and architectural text. The installation draws on De Luca's childhood experiments with light as a communication code, referencing poet Libero de Libero. The project aims to give voice and light to the house, altering viewers' visual and emotional perception of the structure.
