“Gaetano Ciniselli's Dream” Installation
The Bolshoi State Saint-Petersburg Circus, Russia
Opened 27 december 2017
The installation is dedicated to the 140th anniversary of The Bolshoi State Saint-Petersburg Circus.The environment creates a surrealistic picture of Maestro's dream for us, wherein the memories, people and documents from his life are put together and genuine memorial volumetric objects interact with virtual flat ones.
The conceptual solution is presented as an open book lying on the table, which symbolizes
Gaetano Ciniselli's life. Sheets with project drawings, engravings, programs and personal documents intertwine with the characters of performances like fragments of memories.
