Explore panoramic photos of the Citygarden: Zenit

“Zenit, 1999″ by Mimmo Paladino (b. 1948)

Mimmo Paladino is inspired by the art and artifacts of diverse cultures. He combines images drawn from mathematics, science and art, with ancient signs and symbols to create works of art that appear dreamlike and ambiguous. In Zenit, (or Zenith in English), Paladino has created a bronze sculpture of an elegant riderless horse. A geometric form that mathematicians call a sellated dodecahedron (a star-shaped form with twelve faces) appears to balance on one of its points on the horse’s back. (Gateway Foundation)

Explore the new Citygarden sculpture installations through 3D panoramic photos. These 360-degree photographs consist of several photos taken over a short period of time and stitched together. You can explore the panoramas by clicking and dragging on the photo. You can zoom in and out with the SHIFT and CTRL keys.
