Earlier this year, an exhibition at the Deichtorhallen museum in Hamburg, Germany used Digital Projection’s E-Vision Laser 10K projectors. Technical director Ivo Schob explained:
“Using projection was a key part of the curatorial concept of Fowle and Longo. By slowing down the seven most important films of Sergey Eisenstein to 1% of their normal speed, visitors would be drawn to the very special aesthetic in his filmmaking.
Displayed in 4:3 format and projected side-by-side on the 45-metre back wall of the exhibition, the films were played in super-slow-motion. The 4:3 display format meant that the black areas of the 16:10 picture needed to be absolute black. When we tested the E-Vision Laser 10K projector, it stood out as the best product for what we wanted to achieve”.
