MUTOID WASTE COMPANY | WATER (F)LIGHT
Schenoni Areal
As part of the Water Light Festival 2026, Nikki Rifiutile Rodgerson, Lucia Freya Pansecchi and Luca Montagner from MWC are creating a large interactive sculpture in collaboration with local artists Hartwig Thaler, Alexander Wierer, Eric Gallmetzer and Grant Allen, and with the support of the Brixen-based associations REX Material und Dinge and Helfende Hände, which are contributing materials, expertise and networks. The flight of a heron is depicted using recycled materials. Since antiquity, this water bird has been a symbol of rebirth and is closely linked to the connection between water and light: consecrated to the sun god in ancient Egypt, its return to the Nile symbolised fertility and abundance. The reuse of waste materials is also a process of constant renewal—an attitude that has always defined MWC and is brought here into a dialogue with local participants.
