Nanda Vigo’s studies in the realms of both architecture and the visual arts are embodied in chronotopes, spaces or objects in which indirect light filtered through reflective and refractive materials – moulded glass, steel, mirrors – creates uncertain impressions dilating the concepts of space and time.

“Chronotopes are activated by people moving in and around them, instilling non-programmable motion in potentially infinite combinations; reflective surfaces and lights create perceptions independent of formal aspects: “a directed reflection can generate an image that the physical eye takes in ready to be conveyed to the mind and recorded, but image-less luminescence can access memory more directly and directly generate physical well-being, too”.

(N. Vigo, 1964).

Nanda Vigo has been creating mirror-pyramids defined as “Spatial Stimulators” since the 1970s, objects capable of attracting space, surrounding architecture and the onlooker to render a multiple and dematerialised vision of reality.

Nanda Vigo comes from a generation of artists who turned Milan into one of the capitals of world art from the 1960s onwards – Fontana, Manzoni, Gio Ponti; her constant studies into light made her a vital benchmark for the Italian neo-avantgardes.
