Le Scale della Divina Commedia’ is presented as a single model for an installation with a monolith staircase at a suitable art site such as a huge factory hall. The staircase is built to room-filling height, with slightly different appearances, constructed with inverse perspective principles. What appears usually small and further away in the human perspective of a staircase is close but small in the art pieces. The size of the stair increases to a certain factor, turning human perspective upside down and scaling the very little to the very big in reference to the audience.

Somewhere between molecules and macroscopic objects there would have to be a boundary where the strangeness of quantum behavior ends and the familiarity of classical physics begins. How does the subatomic and the macroscopic world couple with each other? Does the subatomic world follow other structural rules than our macroscopic world, even though we ourselves, as well as the buildings and landscapes that surround us, including planets and stars, are made of the same subatomic particles.
