Huge town

Luigi Mainolfi

1987/Bronze/Italy
Born in Rotondi, Italy in 1948. This work, which won the Excellence Award at the 5th Henry Moore Grand Prize Exhibition (1987, Utsukushigahara Kogen Art Museum), was inspired by ancient Italy. From a distance, it looks like a plump bronze human shape, but when you look closer, you can see that there are countless window-like voids throughout. It looks like an ancient fortress or a hollow city. In Marunouchi-Nakadori Ave. exhibition, in order to express the city during the day and night, light is illuminated from inside the works at night, creating a fantastical illusion of warm city lights spilling through the windows.
