VENICE - 61st EXHIBITION OF CINEMATOGRAPHIC ART

Venice, September 1-11, 2004

‘Effetto notte’ (‘Night Effect’) is the title of the spectacular architectural multivision that illuminated the façade of the Venice Lido casino every evening of the last edition of the 61st Film Biennial
A multivision presentation on Film and on the Film Dream with images processed with graphic effects which lead the spectator on a journey into the imagination, and then through the legends of Film, right up to the present with today’s images.

Multivision is a hybrid language born of cinema and photography created by Paolo Buroni , who has opened new horizons for Architectural Multivision with a highly personal style – unique in the international panorama –which takes this art form into the largest, and least expected spaces.

The location:
The magnificent ‘Piazza del Casinò del Lido’ in front of the ‘Palazzo del Cinema’ serves as the backdrop for the series of images projected onto the façade of the Casino and the Cinema building, accompanied by soundtracks from famous movies.

The installation numbers:
