An exhibition of original works and drawings
by the prominent author Hermann Hesse

"Hesse’s Drawing: A Travel to Myself," a commemorative exhibition of the illustrious poet and novelist Hermann Hesse, was held at the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul. The exhibition presented drawings and photographs that document the life of one of the greatest German writers of the 20th century.

Turning the entire exhibition space into a canvas

“A video exhibition designed to shed light on his lesser known life as painter is also being held. Greater immersion is made possible through projection on to a full screen with a width of 4 meters.” said Kim Ryeowon, CEO of BonDaVinci Co., Ltd., in charge of exhibition planning.
“Panasonic projectors are particularly advantageous because they enhance our level of immersion by displaying impressions and RGB colors with vivid clarity. Furthermore, they are more durable and sharper in terms of brightness compared to the products of our competitors.” Kim Ryeowon added.

Thirty-two PT-EZ580 Projectors were installed throughout the exhibition space to take spectators on a visual journey. Panasonic’s PT-EZ580 LCD Projector boasts high picture quality and excellent color reproduction. And the PT-EZ580 features a wide lineup of optional lenses allowing various projection distances.

“For the projectors, we are using thirty-two Panasonic PT-EZ580 devices, eighteen ET-ELW20, three ET-ELW21S and ten ET-ELW22S. A basic lens is also included.” said Lim Suyong, manager of BonDaVinci Co., Ltd. “Its greatest strength is the wide choice of lenses.”

The combination of the PT-EZ580 and a wide lineup of lenses allows flexible installation in limited spaces.

A total of thirty-two PT-EZ580 projectors were used.

The PT-EZ580 projector boasts high picture quality and excellent color reproduction and can be used for all types of exhibition spaces.

Travel through Hesse’s art works one after another

The Nobel Prize winning writer left many drawings of Switzerland landscapes where Hesse spent the later years of his life. With the latest digital programming and animation, his soft strokes were brought alive and visitors felt like they were touring the region where he lived. It would be a great pleasure for those who are interested in Hesse’s literature to see a bit of his fight against reality.

After viewing the exhibition, Roh Unha, president and CEO of Panasonic Korea Co., Ltd., stated his impression. “Hermann Hesse’s artwork once seemed quite strange, but seeing them reproduced on a large screen by the Panasonic projector enables us to feel Hesse’s touch in close proximity.” “We are excited and proud that these great drawings have been reborn as videos thanks to our product.”
