Opera per Torino, Contemporary sculpture in Largo Orbassano, Turin, Italy
The Opera per Torino features two red brick portals with a trapezoidal base, measuring 600 centimeters wide and 583 centimeters tall.
Danish artist Per Kirkeby created this architectural sculpture in 2005 as part of a project featuring eleven installations along Turin's Railway Passante.
The structure reflects Kirkeby's background in geology and his appreciation of Maya architecture through its geometric forms and structural framework.
The sculpture stands at coordinates 45°3'N latitude and 7°39'E longitude, marking an entrance point within the urban landscape of Turin.
The installation uses specialized San Marco bricks manufactured without sand, creating surfaces that interact with natural light throughout the day.
