An immersive experience that combines visual art, improvised music, performance, sound, and lighting design. Conceived by Lisa Lurati and Giordano Rush, Wanderer is a temporary living space that fosters an intimate encounter between the artwork and the audience.

Wanderer is a call to become a wanderer—a free, timeless figure who rejects a single center and a fixed identity, who traverses the world’s plurality and allows it to traverse them, who transforms without dominating, and who embraces the unpredictable as a creative force. It is not the one who moves but the one who inhabits movement. To wander is not to lose one’s way but to align oneself with a sacred orientation, with one’s own axis mundi .
The work opens up a space where the intimate encounter between the audience and the musicians/performers invites the manifestation of the genius loci —an unknown force that fertilizes the imagination—into its very center.
*Wanderer* is a poetic superorganism that develops its own dramaturgy through the presence of the bodies that inhabit it. A microcosm made up of instruments, images, and gestures that intertwine and become the threads in the fabric of a flying carpet. A journey that suspends distances and temporalities, traversing an archipelago of possible spaces.
