Artist Edoardo Tresoldi has placed 46 columns in a park in the Italian

Built in the park of via Giunchi on the seafront of Reggio Calabria
with views across the Strait of Messina to the island of Sicily, the
architectural installation was created to be a place of
contemplation.When I came to Reggio Calabria I found in the park that
would have become Opera’s location an intimate and snug spot in which to
take a moment from everyday life and contemplate Sicily across the
sea,” Tresoldi told Dezeen.
“Contemplation is an occasion of pure
listening and connection with the place, Opera’s pillars celebrate these
simple moments,” he continued.In total Tresoldi installed 46 columns,
the tallest of which is eight metres high, throughout the park to create
a series of colonnades. Each of the columns is made from an open
wire-mesh structure and lit from below by spotlights.
By recreating the language of classical architecture in a
semi-transparent form, Tresoldi hopes that the installation will
encourage people to think about the space they are in.“Opera is born to
celebrate the relationship between the human beings and the
surroundings, the Strait of Messina, a magnetic place which I consider
the actual eternal monument of Reggio Calabria,” Tresoldi explained.
“I simply wanted to add a further key of reading to a location that is yet able to speak itself,” he continued.
“As in my previous works, classical architecture is a tool to celebrate
the sacredness that man finds in places.”The pillars create an
experiential path marked by different moments and define multiple
openings to the landscape based on the points of view,” said Tresoldi.
“I found it interesting to overlap two different architectural systems –
the rationality of the pillars’ distribution and the organicity of the
park – by meaning them as two different musical melodies that work
together following harmonies and disharmonies. Their disharmonic
relationship contributes to create ever-changing architectural
compositions.”pera opened to the public on 12 September along with a
sound installation created by Italian musician and composer Teho
Teardonarrated that aims to articulate different parts of the day.
Artist Tresoldi has previously used wire mesh to create a range of
pavilions and architectural compositions. In Italy, he reconstructed an
ancient Roman church using the material, while in Suadi Arabia he built a
multi-sensory pavilion in Riyadh.
