The exhibition brings together the films that the public most loves to see and re-watch during the Christmas holidays: from the Harry Potter saga to “Frankenstein Junior”, from “Ghostbuster” to the recent media phenomenon represented by Greta Geerwig’s “Barbie”, from “The Wizard of Oz” to “Home Alone”.
In addition, some “anthological” posters dedicated to icons such as Supermario, the films of the 80s and 90s and the Advent Calendar, as well as works in augmented reality that Cristina Stifanic dedicates to Diabolik, the timeless comic thief created by the Giussani sisters.
From Friday 1st December 2023
“…BEFORE CHRISTMAS”
The exhibition … BEFORE CHRISTMAS, from December 1st, presents a series of works inspired by the typical Christmas movies, from the magic of the “Harry Potter” films, represented by Ape Meets Girl, to the supernatural “Ghostbusters” reinterpreted by Max Dalton, as well as a holiday classic like “Mom I missed the plane” or a Christmas institution like the Advent Calendar, reworked in the form of Alternative Movie Poster.
HARRY POTTER AND THE ALTERNATIVE MOVIE POSTER
For those born in the 1990s, the Harry Potter film saga, inspired by J.K. Rowling’s novels, represented love “at first sight”. The adventures of Harry, Ron and Hermione have marked an entire generation, poised between magic and ordinariness.
BILL MURRAY FOR PRESIDENT
Two films starring Bill Murray such as “Ghostbusters” and “Groundhog Day” can not go missing in a hypothetical playlist of movies to be reviewed when the first lights of Christmas appear on the street. What film would you be willing to watch endlessly if your day repeated itself all over again in a continuous cycle like in the Harold Ramis film?
IT…COULD…WORK!
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is the most famous film by Mel Brooks. Entered by right into the collective memory, also and especially for his flashing jokes and for the character of the hunchback assistant Igor, played by a sublime Marty Feldman, the film is a reinterpretation of classic horror, and its hidden meaning in the staging of the deformed, the different. The posters of Conor Langton and Cranio Dsgn pay homage to this classic: what better Christmas gift?
DIABOLIK WHO ARE YOU?
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the birth of Eva Kant, as well as the release of “Diabolik Who Are You?”, the third and final chapter of the cinematographic saga directed by Manetti Bros, Cristina Stifanic exhibits at Soggettiva Gallery some works dedicated to the famous comic thief created by the Giussani sisters.
Two of these, the portrait of Lady Kant and “Back to Paradise”, present an absolute novelty: augmented reality, which mixes two universes, ours and the virtual one, to create unique, innovative and multisensory experiences.
