1. Tracking shot of immersive room, Escher drawings projected on floors, walls and ceiling
2. Various of “Relativity”
3. Mid of “Ascending and descending”
4. Tilt up of “Waterfall”
5. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Federico Giudiceandrea, exhibit curator and Escher collector:
"Escher is famous for paradoxes, for spatial paradoxes. We all know his impossible constructions where you really look at them and say 'it is not possible that the water always flows in the same direction or that walking up those stairs you always arrive at the same point'. This is the aspect that here, perhaps more than in other exhibitions, (the visitor) understands: the (artistic) path that led Escher to create these kinds of works and how much Italy also influenced his evolution. Obviously, Escher then also came into contact with mathematicians in the 1950s, who were not only his advisors in the realization of some of his works, but also his first clients.'
6. Various of “Metamorphosis II”
7. Various of “Day and Night”
8. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Federico Giudiceandrea, exhibit curator and Escher collector:
"Escher is a great interpreter of the 20th century. The 20th century is a century where somewhat incomprehensible scientific theories are born such as the theory of relativity, the quantum theory and where there are paradoxes such as the paradox of twins, time that maybe is different for each person, spaces that are curved or the Schrödinger's paradox of the cat that is alive and dead at the same time. We have all heard of or talked about all these paradoxes, which characterized the 20th century, but none of us can really imagine what lies behind them. Escher gives us the possibility to understand and interpret these paradoxes and to realize that reality is much more complex than we perceive it to be."
9. Various of “Bond of Union”
10. Various of “Drawing hands”
11. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Federico Giudiceandrea, exhibit curator and Escher collector:
"Escher is perhaps the best interpreter of evolution in the 20th century. He is the one who brought art closer to science, merging these two worlds. He used to say; 'I am considered by artists to be a mathematician and mathematicians consider me to be an artist, so I am in between these two worlds'. This left him a little dissatisfied, but actually everyone, mathematicians and artists alike, always appreciated his work and his ability to make these obscure and paradoxical things visible."
12. Various of “Hand with Reflecting Sphere”
13. Various of “Reptiles”
14. Various of “Tower of Babel”
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Veldhuysen, CEO of the M.C. Escher Company and exhibit curator:
“I think what the visitors will learn is his love for Italy, which you basically see back in all of his prints, even in his later work, and the way he played with perspective: faraway, close by, deep, up. And some of them are not real, and he just figured it out in his mind.”
16. Various of “San Michele dei Frisoni, Rome”
17. Tilt down of “Up and down”
18. Close of “Print Gallery”
19. Various of “Eye”
20. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Veldhuysen, CEO of the M.C. Escher Company and exhibit curator:
“I think that (Escher fascinates so many people) because it’s accessible for everyone, accessible to everyone, young or old, everyone would recognize something in it, water that streams up instead of down, crocodiles that disappear into a sheet of paper and then climb out again. I think everybody likes that.”
