Hilma af Klint dreamt of a spiral shaped building to house her most important work, but the idea never materialised. More than a century later, af Klint’s vision has been translated into a VR experience where some of her most important paintings come alive.
Hilma af Klint – The Temple is produced in collaboration with Acute Art and premiered at Koko Camden during the Frieze Art Fair. The virtual reality work Hilma af Klint – The Temple is a 12-minute VR experience inspired by the artist’s vision to create a spiritual building to house her most important works. The VR work includes 193 of Hilma af Klint’s paintings in a format that transcends time and space and makes a significant portion of her artistic output available to the public.
