Fae Varriale presents Danse Macabre
Location: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA26/218/40/551
Ever since Halloween
there had been banging and mysterious comings and goings at the empty
old
manor house in the woods. Today the posters all over town explained it
all, an invitation to the opening exhibition at the new Darkwood Art
Gallery. "Danse Macabre - a haunting exhibition, an experience you will
never forget..."
As visitors to the exhibition wander the dark corridors of the gallery they soon learn this is no ordinary arts centre. The
pictures are indeed haunting, images of banshees, wild hunts, the
'fair' folk and more. As they come across a room containing a single
picture they find fate unraveling as they become immersed in their own
Danse Macabre.
The installation is inspired by the
Danse Macabre allegorical genre of art that dates back to the 15th
century and symbolizes the universality of death despite one's station
in life.
In the exhibition at the mysterious
Darkwood gallery are found classical Danse Macabre images mixed with
those that are inspired by myths and stories of harbingers of death and
gatherers of souls.
As you wander the corridors you begin to realize this is no ordinary gallery...
