HALOS in Florence, Italy (2026) was commissioned by the Bright Festival. It is a large-scale installation by SpY composed of a matrix of gold and silver reflective circles, suspended in midair and set in continuous rotation. Installed at the heart of a former railway factory in Florence, the work stages a continuous choreography of light and reflection, saturating the space with shifting luminosity. As the disks turn, their surfaces visually interlace, casting a constellation of reflections born from the interplay of movement, material, and ambient light.
The atrium’s vertical architecture—spanning three levels—creates multiple vantage points, allowing the installation to unfold differently with every step. As audiences navigate the space, perceptions expand and overlap, multiplying into a potentially infinite field of forms that never resolves into a single view.

HALOS activates a heightened state of perception through the suspension, motion, and reflection of essential geometric elements. By articulating a precise, kinetic composition, SpY transforms the industrial volume into a physical, immersive experience—one where viewers become co-authors of the work’s ever-changing visual grammar.
