"Vitruvian Disco"
Leonardo da Vinci created the Vitruvian Man around the year 1487. It depicts a nude male in two superimposed positions inscribed in a circle and square. The drawing is accompanied by notes based on the work of the famous architect Vitruvius Pollio.
"Vitruvian Disco" is a contemporary interpretation of the Vitruvian Man. Only this time, there's no man nor flesh but geometry.
There are no human notes from Vitruvius but an illegible abstract language.
The colours belong to Florence's Duomo at dusk.
The shapes aim to deconstruct the city grid, encapsulating the movement of its inhabitants.
