Nice harmony is a series of scented candles that Belloni conceives as performative objects without the presence of any body. The light of the candles creates wounds on the wax surface in a process of destruction that modifies its initial shape, consequently initiating an inorganic metamorphosis. These ephemeral objects wear out slowly, burning until they finally disappear. The candles attract the attention of the public, attracted by the smell of burning wax and the crackling of the wounds that open with combustion. It almost seems that an unknown ritual takes place in the historical architecture of Palazzo Re Rebaudengo, of which the author or the evoked spirits are unknown.
