Venice

Behind the reconstruction of the porticos of Piazza San Marco is installed a big Rear-illuminated backdrop realized with the RNO - Notturno film, here without illumination.

The photographic sequence allows to appreciate the transition from a night light situation, in which the presence of the RNO - Notturno backdrop is not even noticeable ...
... to the twilight of this scene ...
... where the moon is also rear-projected ...
... and to the increasingly widespread light of this image and the following.The RNO - Notturno screen measured, in the original installation by the Teatro Carlo Felice of Genoa, 17,80 m of width and 23,00 m of height ...
... but the technical direction of the Teatro La Fenice asked the reduction of the height to 18,00 m to adapt it to their own stage needs.
The shading tents of the seaside resort are made of ASC - Sceno muslin, natural colour, with flat making ...
... and the scene is reflected in the TST - Silviastar mirroring floor.
