Viron Erol Vert uses the pavilion in the garden of the Villa as a luminous relationship space. The glass facades are covered with 32 different colored sheets, inside six geometric bodies act as contact organs and as many fans let velvet ribbons flutter. On them there are written quotes from Lucretius's "De Rerum Natura". Viron Erol Vert read this book during his stay in Florence in 2018. Written in the 1st century BC, this six-volume "doctrinal poem" is a critical religious text on the construction of society and culture in a world of atoms. Viron Erol Vert takes up the impulse of the Roman poet and philosopher to contrast the "calm of the mind" with fear and creates a minimalist space for it.
