Panorama installation "Pompeii" by HGEsch

In the scope of ART COLOGNE 2024, the artist HGEsch is presenting his installation entitled "Pompeii" at Entrance South of Koelnmesse. In a "rotunda" he developed especially for the purpose HGEsch is placing the person in the middle of the picture and thus symbolically in the centre of the range of sight.

What was buried by ash fall after Vesuvius erupted almost 2,000 years ago is long since being excavated. One of the most important witnesses of our Western cultural history is being exposed there – the Roman city of Pompeii that was founded around 2,500 years ago. HGEsch is using this unique panorama view of this intact, over two century-old city that was built following an intelligent and extremely liveable concept to show how necessary it is in the here and now to continue learning from the past. With this impressive, three-dimensional installation he conveys to us the visualisation of the well-known central statement "The future needs a heritage".
