Multimedia composer and VR developer Konstantina Orlandatou was inspired by the themes of the exhibition and brings four works of art to life. Discover hidden details and blur the boundaries between the analog and digital worlds. How does virtual reality expand our perception, our imagination and perhaps even our knowledge?

Experience the artfully staged objects in Johann Georg Hinz's "Kunstkammerregal" (1666), take them out and view them up close. Enter the impressive "Scala Regia in the Vatican" (1667) and be amazed by Wilhelm Schubert von Ehrenberg's gift of perspective illusion. Enjoy the view of the rocky landscape of the Roman Campagna, similar to that offered to the artist Friedrich Wasmann around 1833. Explore the wealth of detail in Jan van Rossum's "Floral Still Life with Curtain" (1671), pull aside the fabric and discover what lies hidden behind it.
