Similar to the experience of being immersed in the paintings of Van Gogh andMonetHaving created waves earlier this year, the exhibition "Frida: Immersive Dream" will also be carefully invested in terms of lighting, sound and accompanying images, with the aim of helping the audience to step deeper into the life and career of Frida Kahlo.
The Mexican artist's famous works will be projected through the walls using animations created by Massimiliano Siccardi, an Italian digital artist who also created digital experiences from Van Gogh's works in previous exhibitions.

“Siccardi projects Kahlo's work in a very different way than he used to study Van Gogh's,” 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 pursue Frida's world, a world where everything inside is always moving," Siccardi said. "We will explore the tenderness as well as the hatred in Frida's soul by looking at the way she observes things and imagines them, hoping that the stories of Frida's life can touch the emotions of those who come to experience this exhibition."
