Aliki Polydor 2006

The light installation in the castle of Rivoli Forte Wohlgemuth “Zafferano o spezie…”, together with the LED light sculpture “ZAFF”, hymns those emotions tied to the senses of  vision, taste and smell. Spices give their contribution to the taste of elements and also to the taste of life, by making life more intense with a pinch of extra feeling, intensifying the pleasures of taste and smell but also of vision
As with all spices, saffron yellow has, as a result of its attributes, an important impact on our senses because it influences our being with further repercussions on our soul, on our moods. The plant itself, with all its qualities, imparts well-being, as is often mentioned by Omar Khayyam in poems that often deal with hedonism, Epicureanism…
Strangely enough all colours are to be found in spices…
There is a colour for each spice, for each pleasure. Orange, red, yellow, green…
There is an emotion for every thing in life…

Aliki Polydor 2005 | sensorial lighting installation | Zafferano o spezie | Castello di Rivoli

The installation “Zafferano o spezie…“ at the castello di Rivoli - Forte Wohlgemuth with 3 technologically innovative SSL light sculptures of which “zaff”, being the most important one, offers a distinct message : that of enhancing emotions linked to the pleasure of the senses, whether gustatory or olfactory.

To Aliki, spices contribute to the flavor of the elements but also to the flavor of life, making it even more intense with the addition of subtle hints to emotions intensifying the olfactory pleasure and taste. When entering a completely dark space guided by the cardamome scent that spreads in the environment, the colored light and the adequate colour temperature of the white light, very close to daylight, the light sculpture "zaff" with its soft shapes strongly affects the senses of the visitor.

The dominant color chosen by Aliki is saffron yellow. Saffron, like all the other spices leads us with its benefits to an important impact on our senses. Spices affect our beings with notable repercussions on our mind and soul. Omar Khayyam in his poetry mentions it in the context of hedonism and Epicureanism... Saffron draws us to a sense of wellbeing.

Strangely all colors are found in spices ... There is a color for each spice, for every pleasure. Orange, red, yellow, green ... and the entire installation is further emphasised with Aliki's LED lighting design.

There is a thrill for all things in life says Aliki Polydor, even simple small things like spice.all rights reserved © 2004
