Peter Greenaway
is a visionary film maker who is internationally renowned for his
original and unique films. He was in Melbourne recently as part of the
2009 Melbourne International Arts Festival, to launch his multimedia event Leonardo's Last Supper.
The installation is a combination of sophisticated technology and
craftsmanship, with a full scale clone of the Da Vinci's masterpiece
brought to North Melbourne Town Hall from Milan, as the centrepiece of the
performance. The clone is a perfect, three-dimensional sculptural
replica of Milan's
crumbling, 510-year-old chapel wall and painting. The multimedia
performance includes live projections
of images and light that are accompanied by an emotive soundscape of voice,
music and atmospherics.
