ABOUT THIS WORK
Commissioned by the non-profit Milano Arte Estetica as part of a series of site-specific installations organized in conjunction with a conference on art and philosophy, Wolf created Stella Braille to reflect upon the relationship between verbal, visual and auditory language.
He projected macro reproductions of the Braille alphabet onto four walls of an abandoned industrial space while overlaying two recorded sound diffusions of recited words.
Visitors saw the images of Braille, heard the repeated words and became integrated into the piece itself as the light projections cast their shadows onto the surrounding walls. By transforming the tactile language of Braille into a language of light, Wolf gave viewers the opportunity to be immersed in a new visual code.

Stelle Braille è un’opera multisensoriale che riflette sul rapporto tra linguaggio verbale, visivo e acustico.
È costituita dalla proiezione di macro-fotografie dell’alfabeto Braille in uno ex-spazio industriale abbandonato, interagendo con la diffusioni sonora delle voci registrate.
I visitatori ascoltano le voci e diventano parte dell’opera proiettando le loro stesse ombre sulle pareti circostanti. Trasformando il linguaggio tattile della scrittura Braille in quello intangibile dell’installazione, l’artista offre l’opportunità di immergersi ed essere partecipi di un nuovo codice luminoso e visivo.
