Homo Faber 2026 | An Island of Light
Art Direction by Es Devlin
A Full Moon Rising
Inside Fondazione Giorgio Cini’s former swimming pool, moon jars and vessels by international craft artists emerge through a delicate dialogue between light, water and reflection.
Through light, our aim was to draw the full moon envisioned by the artistic direction, transforming the central semi-circular structure into a luminous presence rising over the water. At the same time, the lighting carefully reveals the moon jars within the “moon” and the vessels displayed along the sides of the pool.
A poetic encounter between light, craftsmanship, material and reflection.
