Stars, 2011. Installation. Cloths, twine. Installation view. GAMeC, Bergamo. Ph: Jacopo Menzani.

Catalog of stars and constellations made of cloth, using the color, the texture and the size of each star in relation to the Sun.
For example, if the Sun were a piece of cloth a mere centimeter large, the star Betelgeuse would be a big 10-meter sheet, brilliant and red; an unknown star in the constellation Canis Major would reach 18 meters: and Sirius would be no more than a small two centimeter blue star.
The project involved artists, fashion designers and tailors in rethinking the cosmos, altering its traditional representation.
