“Fireflies” is a site-specific installation, I got the idea while traveling for Bogota to Medellin by land, through the mountain. For the first time after sever years I saw groups of fireflies in the woods. Why there are not so many fireflies around the places we live in? In the last 20-30 years fireflies are disappearing due to pollution and human related activities. The few colonies of fireflies left are visible only far away from urban environments, in uncontaminated spots. Pier Paolo Pasolini wrote an essay on this phenomena “Prima dell a scomparsa delle lucciole - Durante l a scomparsa delle lucciole - Dopo la sc omparsa delle lucciole” (Before disappearance of the fireflies, During disappearance of the fireflies, After disappearance of the fireflies). That's the reason why I decided to realize an installation where dozens of small lights turn on and off every 3/4 seconds in a dark space, mimicking the behavior of the fireflies, repeating this process over and over. The light sources will be hanging from the ceiling; the visitors will be able to move freely in the space, because the lights will be hanging at least 2 meters from the floor.
