LUNA ROSSA
by ANDREA ANASTASIO
Luna Rossa draws inspiration from the cascading grandeur of Hokusai’s Amida Waterfall and the emotive melody of the Neapolitan song from which it takes its name. Combining industrial precision with artisanal craft, its lunar-like surface texture and subtle irregularities are achieved through the glass fusing process. The striking red waterfall motif is composed of conterie: tiny Murano glass beads originally threaded into long strands by skilled impiraresse. The work embodies a sense of longing and contemplation, creating an artistic resonance between sound and image.

ANDREA ANASTASIO
Andrea Anastasio lives between Naples and Mumbai. After training in Oriental studies, he embarked on numerous collaborative projects as a designer for Artemide, Danese, Foscarini, and Memphis before moving to India in 1991. His research focuses on the manipulation of objects, consumer goods, and materials linked to the domestic context, in order to generate linguistic short circuits, while sabotaging their conventional meaning. He has exhibited in museums including Grand Palais, Paris; MART Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rovereto, la Triennale Milan; Yuz Museum Shanghai.
