Marcos Lutyens' Hypnotic Installation at Alberta Pane in Venice
Marcos Lutyens presents an immersive installation at Galleria Alberta Pane in Venice, exploring consciousness through hypnosis and meditation. The centerpiece is a round table covered in coarse salt, where visitors, guided by Lutyens' voice, trace spontaneous finger movements on the granular surface, revealing tangible traces of their inner flow. The exhibition also features a performance with rubber boots, footprints, and colors addressing rising sea levels, and proposes repurposing decommissioned oil platforms as totemic structures for ecological regeneration.
