Two new installations at Villa Bernasconi on Lake Como.

Villa Bernasconi in Cernobbio will welcome two new installations: Sky Well and The Dinner.

The latter is a permanent holographic video installation, curated by OLO creative farm, which will be placed in the dining room and which reproduces Cavalier Bernasconi’s dining room on a 1:12 scale.
To create this installation, a video was filmed at the San Teodoro Theater in Cantù that depicts an imaginary dinner party, but with realistic content, from La Provincia of 1906, which inspired by Luis Buñuel’s “The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie” for the screenplay, recounts the social context of one of the most prominent families of the time.

Sky Well is an installation created by Beili Liu, a visual artist born in China but a longtime resident of Texas. A work for which the artist used silk organza, cyanotipe and resin, inspired by the Black Bayou River, a tributary of the Mississippi River that runs through Texas and Louisiana. An installation that dialogues with Villa Bernasconi, an Art Nouveau building overlooking Lake Como, Sky Well is characterized by the color blue and aquatics and belongs to contemporary fiber art.

Sky Well was designed in collaboration with the cultural association ARTE&ARTE and is on view to the public from May 5 to August 31, 2018.
