The World of Hugo Simberg (2023)

An immersive exhibition and documentary experience featuring Hugo Simberg’s Art. Produced for the Finnish National Gallery in collaboration with Talking Animals Animation Studio

Hugo Simberg is one of the most important artists of Finnish symbolism. Myths, fairy tales and imagination gave Simberg a new artistic language. It made it possible to express difficult and complex ideas as well as emotions.

This unique virtual exhibition presents Simberg’s light-sensitive, paper-based gouache paintings, which are subject to many limitations when displayed in a traditional exhibition space.

The virtual environment allows the details of small-scale original works to be viewed at a much larger size and presented in an environment that does not follow the laws of the physical world

Created with The Finnish National Gallery for Meta Quest Virtual Reality headsets as well as desktop & mobile browsers.
