“Nothing is what it seems. Glass is beautiful and fragile, but it is that fragility and that beauty that makes it break and cut deeper, stronger.”
Project Nature was Vachya’s first ambitious attempt at creating a collaborative
experience where different art forms created a unique art experience for the audience.
The first event managed to engage art lovers as much as art strangers by creating an
inviting and cozy atmosphere that tapped into the intellectual and the emotional.

Project Nature: Psithurism Resonant was an outdoor exhibition focused on glass sculpture conceived and organized by Del Vachya and Ludovik Studio in collaboration with Txitxi Bloch and Bitzare Contemporary Glass. The installation played with the reflection of light on glass and its harmony with nature, combined with the elements of video, photography, music, and gastronomy to integrate into the atmosphere offered by the forest.
Project Nature: Psithurism Resonant focuses on fragility, minimalism, and some futurism, creating the sensation of being in a dream, transmitting mystery and subtle sadness with the use of simple black (darkness) and white (light) with some touches of color in key areas, in order to have a contrasting effect of sleepy sadness and dreamlike fantasy. By playing with effects of distance, where things seem close but are far and vice versa, the audience has the urge to touch the art but isn’t able to.
THE TEAM
The first Project Nature exhibition (Hombrechtikon Eichtal, Zurich, 2014) was a very ambitious event hosting around 100 guests that combined not only glass sculptures by Txitxi Bloch and the element of nature, but also carefully produced audiovisual art by Del Vachya and Ludovik Studio, photography by guess artist Isabel Cidoncha, lighting by Wolfgang Meier, mobile installation “Reflection” by Kazue Taguchi, and live music by saxophonist Carles Peris, as well as strategically selected culinary art by Acasa Catering.
ABOUT LUDOVIK STUDIO
Ludovik Studio, a newly formed artistic team was founded by Del Vachya and Melanie Pierucci, who after working in the art and design worlds for so many years in places like Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin, Milan, New York, and London realized that they wished to deliver art as an experience that through the perfect combination and collaboration of different art forms should satisfy every sense and leave audiences exposed, vulnerable
and breathless!
“Ludovik was born because the thought of choosing that ONE thing that defined us for the rest of our lives seemed horrifying. Then we realized that instead of choosing one path we could merge everything into a harmonized experience and experiment with different art forms.”
