Attraction



Art Suite 330

Maurizio Perron

Often, it is not what is seen or heard but what is missing that we experience. As you enter Attraction your heart may beat a little faster and your cheeks may begin to blush. How can ice and snow walls produce such sensations? Maurizio Perron knows the magic of the magnetic pull, he plays with our hearts as he creates fields of ice and snow in such proximity one can't help but be drawn in. Pause as you enter the space in between the walls and feel the electricity.

Maurizio is a sculptor from Italy. In 2006 he collaborated with Yoko Ono on The Snow Show, a project commissioned for the Winter Olympics in Torino.

ICEHOTEL designers take risks. Maurizio took a risk and invited Åke Larsson to come visit Torino; this resulted in an exciting ski vacation.
