Synopsis
Edvard Munch’s ‘The Sun’ paintings are forces of nature. They are wild, energetic, and overpowering in their brightness. Stand in front of them and you can feel the colorful rays coming towards you, the warmth on your skin. The paintings show the December sun over the harbor entrance of the Norwegian town of Kragerø, where Munch lived for a while.
THE SUN is a VR experience that reveals the story behind Edvard Munch’s iconic series of paintings, playing with what our eyes see and our brains make up. By his own admission, Munch developed a downright religious relationship to this light, which, within a few moments, manages to dispel the darkness of winter.
