Barcelona prepares for an immersive experience in a Church: Genesis
In a unique combination of art, technology and spirituality, the city of Barcelona prepares to receive an extraordinary immersive experience inside a church.
Under the name “Genesis”, this exhibition of videomapping and projections will take viewers on a fascinating journey through the first three days of the origin of the Earth.
The church of the Dominican School, located in the heart of the Eixample in Mallorca Street, will be the setting for this unique experience. Through a meticulously designed circuit with light, sound and color elements, “Genesis” will transport visitors to the most primordial moments of creation, highlighting elements such as water, earth, air and vegetation.
The most remarkable thing about this exhibit is its seamless integration with the architecture of the church. Each projection adapts to the structure of the space with precision, creating a fantasy world that seems to emerge from the very walls of the building.
This fusion of technology and art promises to immerse viewers in a truly captivating, solemn and truly magical visual and sensory experience.
“Genesis” arrives in Barcelona on April 12, 2024 after captivating audiences in cities across Europe, including Marseille, Berlin and Hamburg. Tickets will be available starting March 6, and those interested can already sign up on the waiting list for exclusive access to the sale.
