Sculptor Edoardo Tresoldi has brought his brand of ethereal architecture to California’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, creating his biggest artwork to date.
The Italian artist has built three classical, neo-Baroque structures, dubbed Etherea, in the stark desert landscape, framing the arid plains and mountain views.
“Etherea is linked to the context and imbued with the vast California skies.” Tresoldi explained. “It’s transparent language filters and accommodates the strong natural dimension of the desert, a place characterised by an essential relationship between its elements, enriching it with fragmented vanishing points and augmented perspectives.”
The ephemeral installation is the largest artwork on display at Coachella’s bumper 2018 extravaganza, which sees partygoers on the desert enclave for two long weekends.
