The subjects that are painted on the backdrop made of BGO - Gobelin tulle, that receives blue light at the top and red at the bottom, overlap to the three-dimensional subject that, thanks to the located illumination coming from the top, is visible in transparency through the backdrop.
The BGO - Gobelin tulle backdrop is illuminated here with red light that puts in evidence the painted subjects. Behind the choir, thanks to a blue illumination, the same zodiacal subjects appear painted on a backdrop made of ASC600S - Sceno 620 cm muslin. The transparency of the tulle creates a auperimposition of the images that have been painted on the two layers.

The BGO - Gobelin tulle backdrop has been lifted.
The backdrop made of ASC600S - Sceno 620 cm muslin, that covers a big cube, is now illuminated by neutral light rather than blue.
The symbols of the zodiac have been painted by Paolino Libralato.
