Nanda Vigo
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.
