Under the artistic direction of Camille Miceli, Pucci stages its l'Alba show inside a protected grotto carved into the island of Ortigia - ancient pillars uphold the entrance, stalactite formations once quarried by the Greeks summon ageless memories, an underground pool resting beneath it all. Matiere Noire's contribution is deliberately non-narrative: rather than adding, the scenography is tuned to heighten the history the grotto already holds. In order to extend the site through its basin, atmospheric haze is introduced as a second skin that connects the submerged space and the rest of the environment. Concealed devices lay a low atmospheric veil across the room that catch the rays of an artificial sun. Enveloping textures wash the space in mineral tones, composing a continuous, pictorial impression.
