We are re-purposing materials, receiving and using light as a location device, and creating a new sense of place. Three ply EPDM rubber is cut and assembled with emergency blankets in a tessellation system on the ground. Each tile is illuminated by solar powered Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) held within a capsule of aluminized polyester. The Piazza d’Italia is transformed into a liminal space – a call and response between the night sky and the urban surface.
