The Atelier des Lumières Exposition.
Occupying the entire space of the the Atelier des Lumières, a visual and melodic production will follow the intense life of the tormented artist. Expressing, at different points of the exhibition, the impression of water rippling in the light and falling droplets of water, the show is complemented by an impressive soundtrack. Culture spaces edited and produced the visual and musical work, which was directed by the recognized expert team of Renato Gatto, Gianfranco Iannuzzi, and Massimiliano Siccardi.
The exhibition, Van Gogh Starry Night, wants to propose something unusual, and provides a different experience than classic museums showing the artist’s real works. The aim of this exposition is to allow the visitors to develop and feel a connection with the paintings of the artist, for example. Actually, the goal is that the audience becomes actors as if they are part of the works. Their shadows participate with the images and the visual effects, generating a different response based on the personal experience of the particular visitor. The memories that remain from this whole process will condense the full message of this exhibition, which you will quickly forget.
