STAR WARS
& THE ARTS


For Mtime - Lucasfilm - 2017

EXHIBITION CONCEPT
SCENOGRAPHY



             

Star Wars is a unique saga in that it created a whole new universe with its own history and mythology. From the inspirations and influences that it drew from, to the design of the props and sets, art was deeply involved in the crafting of this universe.



Art as an inspiration;
Art as a process;
Art as a product.



As Mtime was adding exhibition production to its activities, a demonstration of what those shows would be was necessary. The topic of the relationship between Star Wars and the Arts seemed perfectly appropriate.

I imagined the concept, selected the content, and designed the scenography of the exhibition. The leading idea was to create a narrative that would introduce the artistic influences of Star Wars, then the artistic process that was involved in creating the saga, and to finish with an overview of the artistic legacy that Star Wars have left in popular culture.
