As the title suggests, "Opera" imagines the industrial site as a dramatic and operatic stage with large-scale mechanical performers. The industrial structures are anthropomorphized by both the painting’s title and the resemblance of the forms to the human body. In "Invisible Cities", numerous disc-like forms supported by long wavering stems conjure one of the Italian author Italo Calvino’s dream cities. Perhaps this imaginary metropolis belongs to a post-industrial future where architecture takes inspiration from plants and networks.
