LUCA POZZI » MIKEY EXPLOSION (Sondare L’altrove)

The “Mikey Explosion” is an Immersive 360° VR (movie set) environment, conceived to create parallel narratives and overlapping additional times and dimensions to the physical installation, through the use of the Blue Screen technology. The work teleports the visitors inside the legendary “Man in Black” movie scene by Barry Sonnenfeld’s (1997), where an alien named Mikey is interrogated and then killed by two non-government agents on the border between Mexico and the United States. The blue screen walls become portals open to scenarios invisible to the naked eye, above which a series of magnetized works float, built through the fragile concatenation of further levels of suspension where matte black surfaces, curved aluminum bars, suspended ping-pong balls and a levitating luminescent sponge, are testaments to the tragic event stuck at the peak of its drama.

The “Mikey Explosion” 360° it’s been produced during the homonymous show at “Sondare L’altrove” curated by Milena Becci.
