Art and science look very much like two different realms, but Filippo Sciascia harmonizes the two in his latest solo exhibition.
The Italian artist has always been interested in science, despite – or because of – his background in the arts.
Perhaps this fascination was prominent in his Lux Lumina project in 2014, where Sciascia turned light into his muse, pondering on the significance of the source of life for humanity.
His latest exhibition, Primitive Mornings, is no different.

Held at Rubanah Underground Hub in Central Jakarta until Jan. 11, the exhibition is part of the celebrations on the occasion of the 15th Italian Contemporary Art Day by the Embassy of Italy and the Istituto Italiano di Cultura.
Primitive Mornings continues Sciascia’s exploration of light as the source of life, this time starting with the process of photosynthesis in plants.
