Swiss Design in Hollywood

october 7. 18.00

Ponton Gallery
1015 Budapest
Batthyány street 65.
October 7–31.
Tue-Sat 12.00–18.00

The Swiss Design in Hollywood exhibition was called into being with the aim of retracing the work of contemporary Swiss artists and their impact on the creation of the visual world and digital imagery of international film productions and video games.
The film industry is one of the most important cultural contributors of the modern era. Few know that in the past decades a number of artists with strong links to Switzerland have successfully participated in the conception design of the characters, fantasy creatures and sceneries dominating the universe of films and video games. Today, many of these artists are working on some of the most publicly-recognised projects (including animated films) and are leaving an enduring mark on popular culture, although their contribution is largely unknown.
The exhibition consisting of tables and film sequences focuses on the personal influence of Swiss designers and illustrators – whether independent or employed by the big special effects studios – on the aesthetics of film production, without forgetting their personal creations.
