ENTANGLED FIELDS
Albertina Academy (Turin)
The project Entangled Fields is a site-specific installation originally realized for the 2007 “Proposte” exhibition, curated by A. Titolo at the Accademia Albertina in Turin. At its heart, the work is a physical meditation on the quantum phenomenon of entanglement—the mysterious principle where two particles remain inextricably linked across vast distances, with the state of one instantaneously affecting the other, even if they are light-years apart.
Through this lens, Luca Pozzi transforms the architectural space into a responsive field where fragments of distant realities are woven together by an invisible thread. The installation subverts our traditional expectations of gravity and logic, presenting an “upside-down” reality that challenges the viewer’s equilibrium.
The visual narrative is composed of objects caught in a state of impossible transition. A parachute, instead of drifting downward, opens in reverse and remains frozen in suspension, while another adheres to the building’s facade like a delicate, translucent membrane. This play of forces continues as nature itself is displaced: blades of grass flee upward toward the ceiling, eventually finding themselves compressed into a sleek, linear plexiglass capsule. Nearby, the familiar form of a tennis ball is reimagined; stripped of its athletic context and imprisoned within a metal cage, it is forced to reveal its raw rubber core.
Ultimately, these diverse elements are bound by a shared, specular ambition. They exist in a state of constant tension, driven by the desire to shed their original forms and embrace a new identity, all while maintaining a fragile and profound global equilibrium.
