we, the students of the faculty of design and art, bolzano–bozen invited visitors to spend a moment in the cloister of the basilica of san simpliciano and take a break from the hectic atmosphere of the "salone del mobile 2009", milan. the "attimo sospeso" installation offers stressed visitors a special place of quiet and reflection. We created a light and reduced typographic design by cutting out letters out of white banners of tyvec. The white banners interact with the architecture and the cut out letters let the colorful frescos come through.Walking around in the cloister the following thoughts appear above the visitors heads.

The sound of my footsteps absorbed by the roar of the city,
I stop and feel the weight of my feet,
so many beautiful chairs, but nowhere to sit
finally a quiet place, I might even stop.

A sophisticated musical dialogue underpins the pleasant yet unusual atmosphere.
