STORY CARVED IN STONE
The virtual-reality-based application takes you on a journey through the life and work of Stanisław Horno-Popławski. Experience a three-dimensional walk down the path of the artist’s abstractive garden of thought, where sculptures come to life before your eyes, presenting their history carved in stone.

ARTIST’S WORKSHOP
As part of the project, we also reconstructed the artist’s workshop. Based on archive photographs and descriptions, we recreated the sculptor’s place of work and enriched the visualization with his animated figure. During the projection, the viewer can walk around the artist’s workshop in Bydgoszcz and see him working on one of his sculptures.
SCULPTURES BROUGHT TO LIFE
Sculptures used in the visualization have been 3D modeled in the real object scale. As a standard, we used photographs of existing works from various cities of Poland and photographs from art albums. In order to deepen the immersion, the sculptures are brought to life in the form of an animation. Each of the sculptures is placed in a scenery that corresponds to its time of making and the period in the artist’s biography.
