The exhibition, designed by the French directors Annabelle Mauger and Julien Baron, brings van Gogh’s canvases to life in a “vivid and spectacular way: the audience will literally be immersed in the artist’s dream world”.
The organizers noted that the exhibition contains bright lights that can cause discomfort in people with photosensitive epilepsy.
“It’s an immersive exhibit, which means you won’t have a real screen – it’s a video projection exhibit,” Mauger told Global News. “You will have video projections everywhere: on the wall, on the floor, everywhere, everywhere around you.”
“We show how van Gogh painted southern France and the suburbs near Paris. It is the projection of all the fantastic paintings that have been created in the last two years of his life. “
