Cromostruttura (Chromatic Structure) is an object constituted of Plexiglas sheets assembled in form of a cube or a parallelepiped of various sizes, sitting on a metal base. Each sheet of Plexiglas is connected to an independent light source which switches on and off rhythmically.
Thanks to the property of Plexiglas, which diffuses light through its edges, the structure of the work is gradually composed and decomposed. The use of colored lights allows for a continuous change in the inner chromatic distribution.
