The splintered light of the sun itches to pass throughthe clouds. A storm can be a measure of time:lightning strikes and thunder fol- lows. In TEmpoR(e)ale Cattaneo presents two golden bronze lightningbolts to keep an illuminated onyx console afloat,a combination that plays on the effect of sunlightstruggling to slip past storm clouds. Its title reformsthe Italian word Temporale (storm) breaking it downinto tempo (time) and reale (royal, real, true).
