SpY, known for large-scale urban interventions using repurposed objects, unveiled 'Halos' at a former railway factory in Florence as part of the Bright Festival. The installation features dozens of metallic discs suspended from the three-story-high ceiling, which glimmer and move with natural breezes and visitor motion, creating a choreography of light and reflection. The industrial setting contrasts with Florence's Renaissance elegance.
