Quiet Ensemble

Quiet Ensemble is a Rome-based studio founded in 2009 by Fabio di Salvo and Bernardo Vercelli. Its research moves through the observation of balance between chaos and control, nature and technology, creating subjects that merge those elements, forms that emerge from the relation between organic and artificial matter. What interests them is the insignificant and the wonderful — the movement of a fly, the sound of trees — observed until it becomes an installation.

Light and sound are the materials through which this attention is translated into space. Works such as Solar Dust, a nebular luminescence, and The Enlightenment, described by the studio as a concert of pure light, construct situations where technology recedes and perception adjusts to a slightly different order of things.
