Similar to the experience of being immersed in the paintings of Van Gogh andMonetHaving created a buzz earlier this year, the "Frida: Immersive Dream" exhibition will also be meticulously invested in terms of lighting, sound, and accompanying visuals, with the aim of helping viewers delve deeper into the life and career of Frida Kahlo.
Famous works by the Mexican artist will be projected through the walls using animation techniques created by Massimiliano Siccardi, an Italian digital artist who also created digital experiences from Van Gogh's works in the previous exhibition.

“Siccardi views Kahlo’s works in a very different way than he used to study Van Gogh’s work,” Corey Ross, producer of Lighthouse Immersive, told Travel + Leisure. “He doesn’t unify all the styles Kahlo used in her work, but instead presents them as a series of chaotic and contradictory movements that ultimately illuminate and highlight each other.”
"We will delve into Frida's world, a world where everything within is constantly in motion," Siccardi said. "We will explore both the tenderness and the hatred in Frida's soul by examining how she observed and imagined things, hoping that the stories of Frida's life can touch the emotions of those who come to experience this exhibition."
