"Tempoforma is walking the artwork when light, space, time, and observation coincide." The exhibition Tempoforma by Umberto Ciceri presents a display of rhythmic works that lead the audience into an extraordinary perceptual and emotional dance. The exhibition pathway guides visitors through a cadenced progression, a journey that plays with both optical and personal reflection. Ciceri aims to interact with the viewer: the works come to life and are illuminated by "phantom colors," engaging the neurological and emotional thresholds of perception and optical interferences. The subjects, whether abstract or iconic, dissolve and recombine, transforming as space transforms, as the viewer decides to pause or resume this revolution of image and body. Observer and observed subject are interdependent; "the artwork, therefore, comes into being through encounter," a dialogue that invites one to abandon rational perceptual structures and look at the world with new eyes and new rhythms.
