Voyage is an imaginary journey that unfolds in a mysterious, historical, and futuristic realm; one might find themselves in the depths of the ocean as well as in space, encountering a new alien civilization, and remining surprised by the new and unexplored. Upon entering the Vault, you step into an underground world where the fantastical creatures of Kalman Pool come to life. At the centre of the installation, a colossal and divine creature, the Cosmic Dragon, towers above the heads of visitors, suspended as if in a natural history museum. Continuing through the room, the spectator will also encounter ethereal inflatable phantasms seamlessly transitioning from invisibility to visibility. On the walls, fluorescent words in Luminous Opera, a new language created by the artist himself inspired by East Asian languages, which he has been exploring and developing for the first time presented in Europe. The inspiration for these artworks stems from the artist's journey to the Mogao Caves, a divine Buddhist site with over a thousand years of history in northwestern China. Inside the cave, murals and statues depict celestial creatures and hieroglyphics. Light and sound play accompany the spectator for a multisensory and immersive experience: the mystery and journey begin here, marking a teleportation that transcends the boundaries of time and space, allowing entry into another dimension.
