Set inside a former railway factory in Florence, HALOS fills the industrial space with a striking display of suspended, reflective discs set in continuous rotation. The immersive installation was created by Spanish artist SpY, who’s known for his large-scale works that interact with city environments and turn familiar spaces into futuristic, surreal worlds.
As HALOS’ suspended circles gently rotate mid-air, they catch the natural light, creating a mesmerizing constellation of reflections bouncing between their golden and silvery surfaces. Visitors can enjoy the dazzling spectacle from multiple angles, thanks to the factory’s three levels. As you move around the space, the reflective discs overlap, rotate, shift, and reappear, creating a dynamic, ever-changing work of art.
SpY revealed that the reflective circles are actually photography reflectors, typically used to bounce light onto a subject during a shoot. By repurposing them, he transforms a functional tool into a captivating, immersive installation that surrounds viewers with shifting light and reflections, cleverly altering the perception of the space itself.
HALOS was part of Bright Festival in Florence, an event full of immersive art shows, light and sound experiences, audiovisual performances, and mixed media projects. Check out images of the stunning installation below and find more of the artist’s work on SpY’s website.
