Virtual reality is the natural evolution, the latest step of my research on materials, and the elaboration of photographic materials to obtain a new, almost tactile world, out of photographic images abstracted from their context.

Music helps to produce an even more immersive experience. 3D videos have been an important step forward in this direction, followed by 360 degrees 3D videos. Virtual reality is the nowadays most advanced frontier, offering the possibility of feeling “being in” the art piece.
