Marco Brambilla enchants Nxt Museum with his video art
At Nxt Museum, you now step into the enchanting world of video artist Marco Brambilla. With his installations "Heaven's Gate" and "Creation," part of his "Megaplex" series. you will experience an immersive look at iconic moments from film history, composed into hyper-realistic landscapes that explore both the birth and demise of the universe.
The life-size video installation "Heaven's Gate" takes viewers through an extravagant Hollywood, while "Creation" visualizes the journey of the universe from beginning to end. Known for his use of digital imaging technologies, Brambilla's unique approach recontextualizes popular images in a way that critically examines our media-flooded society.
This exhibition in Nxt Museum invites visitors to be not only spectators but also participants in an art form that pushes the boundaries of traditional filmmaking. "It offers a visual spectacle that challenges the viewer to reconsider the impact of media on our collective consciousness," Brambilla explains. Each visit to this exhibition is a deep dive into the visual and emotional layering that the artist so masterfully manages to sketch.
Visitors to the Nxt Museum can look forward to an experience that is both overwhelming and introspective, a true journey through visual culture as only Marco Brambilla can shape it.
"Heaven's Gate is an exuberant, satirical and dizzying meditation on the Hollywood 'Dream Factory.' It is a work of digital psychedelia that uses the same cutting-edge computer compositing technology as the films it refers to." - Amsterdam Magazine.
