Communio derives from the geometry of the Star in STARGATE and is equipped with a QR code that subtly activates an audiovisual environment through which visions, sound, breath, silence, will and awareness accompany the viewer in an intimate process of imagination to traverse grief and preserve the bond.
The light installation STARGATE transforms the clock into a device of presence: Zero opens a thirteenth sector between measured time and the instant, elevating the latter into a true threshold. Within this space, a mirrored clock hand objectifies the viewer within the reflected image, anchoring them to the present moment and returning the observer to the observed.
From this matrix emerges Communio, a sculptural device that invites contemplation.
The work takes the form of a threshold for establishing an extra-ordinary and unmediated relationship with those beyond the sky.
Communio establishes a condition.
The stellar portion is a relational device: star-gate, a portal among the stars.
The first activation of Communio is geolocated in the woods near Nellimya Arthouse in Aranno.
The genesis of the work is linked to an experience lived on the night of 22 June 2026, when Mya Lurgo came to the aid of a young man involved in a fatal accident and held his hand until his final breath.
Those unforgettable minutes led the artist to give concrete form, through an experiential sculpture, to her previous research into the post-mortem.
In the months that followed, a bench placed a few metres from the point of impact became, for the local community, a place of pause, contemplation and remembrance. A place that turns the woodland into a habitat for inner regeneration.
Communio enters the site with respect for grief, taking part with discretion.
The work is not for sale.
