Twelve Robe BMFL WashBeams were utilised by artist and lighting designer Mariano de Tassis in an installation at the mausoleum of Cesare Battisti in Trento, Italy. The installation was produced by Filmwork Factory to celebrate the centenary of the death of Battisti.

 

The idea of highlighting the mausoleum with twelve beams shooting up into the night sky to match the twelve columns of the monument was de Tassis’ himself, pitched to the Municipality of Trento. He commissioned photographer Pierluigi Cattani Faggion to document the work.

 

The mausoleum’s columns are 15 metres high and follow a circumference of 75 metres. The BMFLs were placed around the perimeter, each corresponding to one of the columns and pointing directly upwards - no movement, no gobos.

 

The installation was momentary. It was active for just three hours between 9 and 12 midnight on 12th July 2016, the day of the anniversary. The BMFL WashBeams were supplied by Musical Box Rent from Verona. They were programmed by Matthew Oliva, and the event’s production manager was Claudio Paolazzi.
