In an almost contemporary experimentation with that illustrated in the previous work Vanni isolates the small geometries on backgrounds that cover the whole picture. They are structures suspended in space like mobiles that take up the theme of floating cities. In the latter the idea of suspension was created through a three- dimensionality that suggested the Euclidean reading of the space they evoked. In this case the balance is obtained with the relationship of vibration between timbre colours, almost completely eliminating the use of three- dimensional suggestions. With this research, Vanni is approaching the ambiguity of planes that will characterize his work.
