Marco Brambilla's installation, Heaven's Gate, showcased at a Golden Goose pre-Venice Biennale event, merges cinema with a commentary on memory and escapism. The work reflects on how we perceive memories through the emotions of audiences watching films. Brambilla describes the nature of cinematic escapism as essential in modern life, drawing ties to the 1980 film Altered States, which explores hallucinations and fragmented recollections. Visitors are invited to engage with the emotional responses of moviegoers, revealing complex layers of perception in an immersive experience.
Escapism is an essential component to our daily lives in today's world. The Altered States show plays with how we remember things versus how they really were.
It's a captivating journey through fragments of memory, melding cinematic techniques with expressive audience reactions, evoking nonlinear perceptions of time.
