Description:
|
The exhibition featured over 220 archaeological artifacts in a unique multisensorial environment. It sought to bring to life the everyday environment of Pompeii against the dramatic backdrop of the final day and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. A seven minute multimedia presentation created by Montreal-based Graphics eMotion captured the different phases of the nineteen-hour eruption. Fourteen casts of the victims were presented in a gallery with Soleil noir (Black Sun), a contemporary (2014) 16mm film by French video artist Laurent Grasso. The exhibition was presented in both Toronto and Montreal in collaboration with the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli and the Soprintendenza Pompei. The MMFA worked with the architectural firm In Situ, Uniform, Graphics eMotion, as well as Lysanne Pépin, for the exhibition design, under the direction of Nathalie Bondil, Director and Chief Curator of the MMFA, and Sandra Gagné, Head of Exhibitions Production.
