See the world as Van Gogh did via an experiential digital art exhibition at Kadokawa Culture Museum’s 1F Grand Gallery. The immersive 360-degree projection mapping installation takes you on a journey through the painter’s life, affording the opportunity to see the world as he saw it.

Van Gogh - This is How I See the World

There is perhaps no Western painter who enjoys greater popularity in Japan than Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890). Many of his works, such as Sunflowers, The Yellow House, The Bedroom, Cypresses, Self-Portrait and The Starry Night, are widely known, as is his eventful life, including his admiration for ukiyo-e and Japanese culture in general, and living with Paul Gauguin in southern France prior to his tragic end. Van Gogh’s works received little esteem during the painter’s lifetime, but only after his death did his paintings attract public attention and went on to have a major impact on the history of painting at large.

Opening now is a digital art exhibition that invites visitors to relive the world as perceived by Vincent Van Gogh. Through a combination of music and 360° projections onto the venue’s walls and floors, the exhibition recreates Van Gogh’s visual world, while tracing his passionate life devoted to painting.

The visuals reproduce Van Gogh’s boldly colored paintings with a special focus on his characteristically energetic brushstrokes, with occasional shifts from warm to rather gloomy tones. The immersive displays are designed to reflect Van Gogh’s poetic, emotionally confused inner workings by emphasizing the contrast of light and shadow.

As there is no prescribed way to appreciate this exhibition, you may walk around the displays and stop – or even lounge in a hammock – at any point you like, absorb the essence of Van Gogh’s works, and be taken right into the life that he entirely spent creating them.
