Within the Central Pavilion

Padiglione Centrale Orticolario 2016

“Kosmos”

The circle. Symbol of perfection, of unity, of cosmos.

Glass shatters and becomes a new material, a place where nature grows and conquers its space.
A fantastic and modern landscape grows from geometries, lights and visions, in a place where the relationship between resources and life never ends, in order to see the essence of everything all around us: “Kosmos”, the installation designed by Vittorio Peretto.

Islands of perennial plants rise from a green carpet, whose canopy and foliage play with the glittering glass.
At the same time old and modern, ferns compete for a space with anemones among roots of big birches, ancient sacred trees watching from above.
The exhibition space is spotted with “flying” mirrors, reflecting surroundings and catching the eye: a deep symbolism leading to a deeper knowledge of ourselves and to a metamorphosis.
