Cristinarosa Pizzinini
(San Cassiano, b. 1959) studied
graphic design in Milan before embarking on
her artistic practice focused on repurposing
materials. She transforms PET bottles and
other plastic elements into lamps, chandeliers,
and light sculptures. Through light and
transparency, the artist elevates discarded
materials, transforming plastic waste into a
creative medium.
˝My aim is to illuminate a humble
waste material and shed light
on the infinite creative possibilities
of giving it a new life.˝
Georg Erlacher
(Bolzano, b. 1969) is a photographer
and restorer based in San Vigilio di Marebbe.
His artistic research explores the relationship
between nature, landscape, and memory.
Through a restrained and contemplative
gaze, he investigates light and the natural
microcosm, transforming the details of plants,
insects, and animals into near-abstract forms.
His photographs reflect on the fragility of
ecosystems and humanity’s connection to
the natural world, inviting viewers to observe
the world with heightened attention and a
sense of wonder.
˝Light is everything between
black and white.
Light is movement.
What we make of it is up to us.˝
Albert Mellauner
(Rina, b. 1947) earned his diploma at
the Institute of Art in Ortisei, followed by an
advanced degree in Fine Art in Venice and
Florence.His artistic research developed within
the field of geometric abstraction, drawing
inspiration from the European avant-garde.
Throughout his career, he has created several
artworks in public spaces across Val Badia
and the wider South Tyrol province. Key works
include the stained-glass window in the foyer
of the provincial government headquarters
in Bolzano and the exterior installation at the
Church of Regina Pacis in Bolzano.
˝Light is breath, the colour breathes,
death is breath.˝
