The Wall of Wonders at Malpensa

Alice Ronchi – True Care, 2024
Alice Ronchi's installation, made with enamel, polycarbonate and aluminium, creates a visual dialogue between two areas of the airport: departures and arrivals. The work, composed of abstract paintings on several transparent levels, generates a dreamlike landscape with reassuring and enveloping colors.

Marco Giordano – Sulla punta della domanda / On the tip of the question, 2024
The three kinetic sculptures suspended in the skylights of the non-Schengen passport control areas are an invitation to calm and reflection. The aerial shapes, made of metal and fiberglass, vibrate gently with soft colors and constant movements, recalling the flow of time and the moment of transition in which, as the title suggests, a question is asked. "I wanted to create a work that captured movement and time, leading the viewer to reflect on the transience of the moment," Giordano explains.

 

 

Andrea Crespi – In Every Journey (Love is the destination), 2024
Made with 20 plexiglass panels and adhesive vinyl, Andrea Crespi's work explores the theme of transformation and visual communication through optical illusion. Each panel contains a letter of the phrase "Love is the destination", which is gradually revealed through optical vibrations in black and white. "Love is the driving force of every journey, whether physical, emotional or spiritual," explains Crespi, inviting travelers to reflect on the destination as not only a geographical goal, but also a human one. The work accompanies passengers in the corridor of the central satellite that leads to the gates.
