The exhibition
Monet Experience turned Santo Stefano al Ponte, Florence's Cattedrale dell'Immagine, into an immersive journey through French Impressionism. Paintings by Claude Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne and other masters of Impressionism, freed from canvas and frame, unfolded across giant screens and the church's baroque architecture through HD projections and enveloping soundscapes. The light, colour and movement that defined Impressionism became something visitors could walk through rather than simply look at, dissolving the distance between the painting and the room. A 3D Oculus VR section extended the experience beyond projection, letting visitors step inside the Impressionist landscape. Following Da Vinci in the same venue, Monet deepened the young touring format with a richer blend of video mapping, sound and scenography, and confirmed Santo Stefano al Ponte as one of Florence's most evocative stages for immersive art.
My contribution
After Da Vinci, this was the project where my role started to shift. I contributed to the scenographic and graphic design and, for the first time, handled video editing for the scenographic and didactic sections of the exhibition. On site, I worked to align the projected content with the venue's architecture and supported the projection mapping. It was a turning point, the first time I was involved in both the creative and technical sides of the same production.
