... for a slightly larger Rear-projection screen made of RCO - Colorado.The columns, like the colour effects of the previous image, are rear-projected onto the Rear-projection screen made of RCO - Colorado.
Here the backdrop made of HSE - Tempesta silk is partially illuminated by yellow light.The images visible in transparency are always rear-projected on the Rear-projection screen made of RCO - Colorado.The scenographer Lorenzo Cutùli used as an iconographic reference the frescoes of the Villa of the Mysteries of Pompeii.
