Maurizio Nannucci's Immersive Neon Installation at Galleria Enrico Astuni
Maurizio Nannucci (Florence, 1939) presents 'Roteation,' a site-specific immersive installation at Galleria Enrico Astuni in Bologna. The work features five colored neon tubes slowly rotating 360 degrees, accompanied by an algorithmic sound composition created with Filippo Panichi and Maurizio Della Nave. Since the 1960s, Nannucci has intertwined sound, light, color, and text, giving words symbolic meaning. The title merges 'rotation' and 'rote' (mechanical repetition), suggesting a fluid search for meaning. One red neon piece reads 'Whenever art displaces common expectations,' using 'whenever' to imply both premise and conclusion. The installation invites a phenomenological reflection on art, senses, and spatial context.
