Planetarium / Planetarium

The painting "PLANETARIUM" consists of two panels, each covering 24 square meters. The artist KIRO URDIN has dedicated more than one year to the execution of this work in different places on our planet, and several years to make the film on 35 mm in six versions (English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Macedonian): The Berlin Wall, Nerezi, Ohrid, Brussels, Knokke-le-Zoute, Bruges, Paris, Rome, Pompeii, Pisa, the english channel, London, Stonehenge, Athens, Cape Soœnion, the Tomb of Jesus Christ and the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, Suez, the Nile, Cheops' Pyramid, Kenya - Masai Mara, New York, Machu Picchu, Cuzco, Bangkok, Peking (the Forbidden City) and the Chinese Wall, Tokyo, Kamakura, Nuenen and Eindhoven.
"PLANETARIUM" presents different cultures of the world and its different regions. It presents itself as a multimedia project, as an integration and synthesis of several arts such as painting, cinema, photography, music, dance, theatre, literature and video. The aim is to bring together and unite artists from around the world into a new art movement called "planetarism". Kiro Urdin shortly sublimated the idea in one sentence: One point everywhere, everything in one point. Artist starts to recognize and practise his idea as "all arts in one and one art in all arts".
