mur | mur is a site-specific installation designed for the basement of the Baluardo San Regolo; it is an immersive environment composed of sculptural elements, musical fragments and videos. The starting point and inspiration for the project was the analysis of a selection of plants found inside and in some of the herbaria of the collection of the Botanical Garden of Lucca.

At the entrance of the cavern, an atypical vision meets the user: it is a dense mur | mur, pulsating, barely illuminated cavern, the access to another dimension that houses beings outside the real. Songs and sound design composed ad hoc by Carlo Piva of Disfónia Ensemble emphasize immersion in this surreal and enigmatic world. Platycerium, Bauhinia, Taxodium, Euphorbia and Lunaria are the five plant species poetically translated through shapes and sounds, each with its own, peculiar characteristics.

mur | mur is an invitation to exploration. The viewer will be free to activate their own path of discovery within the space, wandering from species to species, allowing themselves to be abstracted from this imaginative and visionary universe, of the sensitive.
