A sunrise over a fjord. Sunrays that grow increasingly intense. The landscape becomes a visual experience that examines what’s left of an image when it fades away. After The Scream, another of Munch’s paintings is thus cleverly transposed into VR.
The Sun by Edvard Munch is a virtual reality work that is part of ARTE’s collection dedicated to masterpieces in the history of art. It all begins with a winter sunrise above a fjord in Kragerø, Norway, where the painter lived for a while. The sunlight intensifies and immerses the viewer in a unique visual experience that pushes back the physical limits of our gaze and addresses our relationship with light and obscurity. This project reveals the story that lies behind this painting and evokes Munch’s fascination with light and the experiences that it gives rise to.
