VOLO: ANCIENT AND CONTEMPORARY VISIONS OF FLIGHT

VOLO is a sculptural, visual and acoustic installation by artists Patricia von Ah and Filippo Ermini. The exhibition presents a path in time & space and shared moments of flight using photography, film and audio frequencies. Connecting and separating perceptions from a full experience of physical and acoustic flight to a point zero, silence.

AVAILABLE PRINTS

PRINT DESCRIPTION

Archival Carbon Print / Archival Giclée Print
Print Sizes: 100 x 150 cm & 70 x 105 cm

Archival carbon prints are produced using Kohlepigment Piezography K6. Piezography monochromatic inks and software produce what is unarguably the absolute highest standard in black and white printing. The striking visual characteristic is a result of the unique carbon pigments applied to a 100% cotton rag acid-free paper.

All images are printed on 100% cotton rag acid-free paper with an ultrasmooth surface. Giclée printing is a process that uses fade-resistant, archival inks and substrates that produce subtle tonal ranges and vivid colour expressions.

EXHIBITION PRESS RELEASE DECEMBER 2018

VOLO is a sculptural, visual and acoustic installation created by artists Patricia von Ah and Filippo Ermini that explores unparalleled experiences and perceptions through the act of flying. At its genesis, the artists connected their shared visions in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, one of the most impressive valleys in the Swiss Alps. Between monolithic rock faces and mountain peaks, the village is tucked into a valley of massive glaciers and views of summits towering up to 13,000 feet.

Flight has intrigued mankind since the dawn of time and challenges the world’s most curious minds to invent artifacts and objects that replicate one of nature’s most fascinating experiences. For Ermini, this exhibition is an opportunity to express  his raw physical experience of flight through sculptural and visual languages that allow him to explore the profound polarity between the physical body, gravity and practice as an artist. Patricia’s work for this exhibition is concerned with documenting through both film and photography, the capture of displacement giving evidence to the path way of an object in velocity. 

With the installation of VOLO, the artists intend to open a window into the emotional, spiritual and visceral experience of gravity and velocity as a subject. Challenging the senses using film and photography captured by von Ah; audio frequencies and sculptural pieces by Ermini. Through flight, shared vision and the artist’s unabated immersion in the present moment, their intention is to offer evidence of a pathway through time and space.
