IDEA

The entire concept was based on an exposition of the golden sphere, which upraises Jesus Christ and is located in the middle of the triptych. The sphere can symbolise the absolute, which descended to the earth to appear in our everyday life.

TEASER

In the first stage the project a teaser campaign was implemented. The keynote of the teaser campaign was a golden sphere created in 3D and rendered on a red background with National Museum in Gdańsk logo on a side. The golden sphere was displayed through many communacation channles: citylights, poster pillars and social media for about 2-3 weeks.

CAMPAIGN

The second part of the campaign was supossed to explain the whole concept. In the explanatory part of the campaign, the golden sphere was transferred and incorporated into various, highly recognazible locations in Gdańsk as a set of visuals. The main communication channels used in the explanatory part of the campaign were outdoor channels: citylights, poster and billboards.

GOLDEN TRAM

In the initial stage of the campaign a tram covered in golden foil was running through the city on selected routes. The golden tram was welcomed in an extremly positive way by Gdańsk citizens and has received outstanding public and media interest.

GOLDEN SPHERE

During holiday season a model of golden sphere with diameter of 2,5 meters was placed in the Old Town of Gdańsk. The sphere was frequently photographed by tourists and Gdańsk residents.

PROMO

As a part of the activities following the campaign, a promo of the Hans Memling’s triptych was prepared. The video was created using various modern audio-visual technologies. The shoot took 8 days and post-production over a half year. The music was composed by a recognized composer form Gdańsk Stefan Wesołowski. The soundtrack was recorded live in Church of the Holy Trinity in Gdańsk.

SOCIAL MEDIA
