Sun Catcher is a site-specific installation presented at Villa Bagatti Valsecchi that reactivates the historic site’s fountain. This installation’s radiating arch is designed to catch the sun’s light. As one approaches, the form is reflected in the water below, completing the circle, creating an illusion of the sun. Amsterdam-based design studio Rive Roshan collaborated with SOL R&D — a startup specialized in aesthetic photovoltaics to harness the innovative material’s selective light reflection, playing with color-shifting layers that delight the eye while also generating solar energy. The energy harvested during the day is stored in a battery and used to subtly light the installation after dark.
Villa Bagatti Valsecchi, a 19th-century architectural gem built for the noble Milanese Bagatti Valsecchi family as a summer retreat to escape the city's heat and entertain guests, will be the backdrop for a unique site-specific solar art installation by Rive Roshan and Sol R&D, a Rotterdam based solar energy startup. The installation is set in the historic fountain behind the villa, that was once the centre-piece of an expansive formal Italian and English-style gardens.
