A multimedia spectacle will be projected onto the walls of Wawel Castle from 7th – 11th November, between 5pm and 8pm. The animated projection is part of this year’s celebrations of the 1000th anniversary of the Crowning of the Kingdom of Poland.
We were invited to the official opening, which we’re sharing here for those who can’t make it before 11th Nov. The projection will be visible simultaneously on the castle walls facing Grodzka, and Smocza streets and from the Wisła river boulevard. A story about Polish identity in a modern, moving form.
The artistic concept was created by Dr. Robert Sowa, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts – a visual artist and animated film director. In collaboration with a team of young artists from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, he created a performance drawing on the rich heritage of Polish culture. The artistic narrative references key moments in the development of the nation’s identity, from pre-Christian times, through the medieval beginnings of statehood, to the development of the Kingdom and the role of Wawel as a coronation site.
