Immersive multimedia project 'Secrets of Giuseppe Arcimboldo'

About exhibition

The exhibition organizers invite you to take a fresh look at the allegorical portraits of the 16th-century painter. The works are presented in an immersive multimedia format, creating the effect of being inside installations filled with phantasmagorical images. Volumetric 3D paintings, combined with modern digital projection and sound technologies, give you the chance to physically immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Italian artist's works. Arcimboldo masterfully used the technique of visual illusion, creating mysterious, whimsical puzzles. On his canvases many details harmoniously merge with one another to form a single whole — the human figure. This approach allows for a stronger emphasis on character traits and tells the story of the painting's protagonist. Thanks to contemporary multimedia technologies, you will rediscover the artist's ingenious intent and unravel the secrets of his works. The outward appearance of each of us can be viewed as a system of signs that can be deciphered. The symbolism of Arcimboldo's portraits will help you learn to read a person by their face, to understand people and the nuances of character.
