This amazing video shows the special effects of an optical illusion: the Colosseum on fire by two artists, Pio Diaz and Thyra Hilden.
The video exhibition was on show for only three nights and was commissioned by Italy’s arts minister to demonstrate and reflect on the “fragility and transitory nature of manmade construction”.
As you can see in the video, the Colosseum on Fire effect is a dramatic one.
It’s part of a series of exhibits called “City on Fire” which are also taking place in other famous European locations, including the Trevi Fountain also in Rome.
The idea that the Colosseum could really burn to the ground might help garner support for the 23-million euro restoration project that is underway.
As we already revealed though, the brand value of the Colosseum far outstrips any money required to restore it though, and Rome shows once again that its ancient monuments can also be avant garde.
