The exhibition organized on the 100th anniversary of the Coronation of the Kings of Great Romania brings back to the public’s attention a unique moment in the history of our country, a link between the past, present and future.

The exhibition project began with the way the 3 days of celebrations were held. For each of the 3 days, there is a set of representative images that have been enlarged to very large sizes (170×120 cm) and colored.
Using contemporary digital photography technologies and through a documentary process carried out by historians and designers, the colors in the photographs could be reconstructed with a high degree of precision. The clothing details that were described in the queen’s memoirs, as well as the color lithographs of the era, were the basis of this contemporary transposition.

Apart from the large color photographs, each of the 3 days was captured in a multimedia installation. Three 3d printed models of each significant place of each day were made: the Coronation Cathedral in Alba Iulia, the Arch de Triumph and the Roman Arenas in Bucharest. The light projections pass through the models and overlap with an animation that suggests an anecdotal aspect of each day. At Alba Iulia there were 20 planes in the sky, at the Triumphal Arch in Bucharest it rained torrentially all day, at the Roman Arena those present paid tribute to the royal presence with a shower of flowers.
