Steli
Steli
Come together in this fun, lively event where you create a huge structure made out of wooden sticks. Once the hard work is done, you can explore your creation by walking under, around and through it!
A bridge between contemporary art and performance, Steli is a stunning, interactive and colourful performance.
Steli is the result of an educational and performative project called Reaction, created in collaboration with the Education Department of Castello di Rivoli – Contemporary Art Museum.
Original score: Riccardo Ruggeri
Simone Bosco – Ozmotic
Production: Stalker Teatro
Support: Ministry of Culture, Piedmont Region, Turin City Council
In collaboration with: Castello di Rivoli – Contemporary Art Museum

Permanent installation
While Steli is originally conceived as an interactive performance, it can also be realized as a purely permanent installation, independent of its performative dimension. In this case, specific modifications are made to ensure durability and stability in outdoor conditions.
To withstand weather exposure, the wooden sticks are coated with a waterproof sealant. Unlike the performance version, where the
sticks are connected using simple PVC tape, the permanent installation uses wire connections for enhanced structural integrity. Additionally, the entire structure is anchored to the ground with concrete, ensuring stability over time.
This adaptation allows Steli to become a lasting architectural and artistic presence, maintaining its conceptual essence while integrating harmoniously into various outdoor environments. (+ info)
