«From Dreams to Orbit”—a multimedia projection show for the „Cosmos“ pavilion at VDNKh, celebrating Tsiolkovsky’s anniversary in 2027 (170 years).
Pavilion Plan
Home Screen
The main visual narrative is displayed on the archway screen.
Circular Displays
Circular projection screens serve as an additional layer, creating a feeling of complete immersion in the narrative.
Digital Screens
Lower Screens duplicate the image from the main screen, allowing viewers to watch the show from different points in the pavilion.
Loading Screen
A countdown is displayed on the main screen between sessions, showing the time remaining until the next show begins. Sessions take place every hour after sunset so that light from the windows does not interfere with the projection.
Dramaturgy
The narrative is broken into three acts:
— Genesis: childhood and the formation of interests — Crystallization: self-study of natural sciences, reading science fiction, and encountering the ideas of Russian cosmo-ism — Presentation: creating one’s own cosmos
Between the actions emerges the image of Tsiolkovsky in three stages; the objects in his hands serve as the means of transition from one action to the next: — a balloon, gifted by his mother — a hearing aid — a ball, signifying the future
