To mark the 500th anniversary of famous Dutch/Netherlandish Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch's death - Alte Münze Berlin is hosting the multimedia exhibition Hieronymus Bosch.Visions Alive just a stone's throw away from Alexanderplatz. Upon entering we are met by the quote ”Midway upon the journey of our life I find myself within a forest dark, for the straight-forward pathway had been lost” - a suitable greeting from Dante's ”The Divine Comedy” to prepare oneself for the travel into the twisted world of Bosch. The exhibition brings Bosch's disturbing and beautiful paintings alive with animated graphics projected on huge screens covering all walls to a backdrop of suggestive music. Packed with symbolism and thought-provoking matters this feast for the senses can be enjoyed standing, sitting or walking and dazzles you into a dreamlike state of mind from which you will not return unaffected. Hieronymus Bosch: Visions ALIVE verlängert bis 04.06.2017 is open daily until June 4.

AuthorI came up with the idea of expanding my photography with Berlin related storytelling. Every street in this city is full of history and every person has a story to tell. ArchivesCategories
