C'era Una Volta

18 sculptural elements designed for Trinity Place

Located in the heart of San Francisco, C'era Una Volta is an immense environmental art installation created for Trinity Place, which transforms this public piazza into a place of engaging mystery and unfolding meaning.

Inspired by classical icons of beauty and the stone quarries from which these ancient sculptures were made, C'era Una Volta re-envisions and abstracts classical forms using contemporary digital technologies.

Historical fragments appear in transformed ways throughout the central garden and walkways. Paving artworks play with perspective, one of the prime interests of classical and Renaissance artists. Ultimately, this artwork is more than a series of objects. It is an immersive experience created through engagement with an unassumingly unique location within the city.
