Michelangelo Code

House of Panic director Federica D’Urzo collaborated with Dutch musician Pieter Both to visually explore one of art history’s great mysteries. When Both approached The Panics with his theory on Michelangelo Buonarroti’s The Creation of Adam, Federica D’Urzo’s playful and irreverent animation style complimented the brief perfectly. The film delineates the debate surrounding Michelangelo Buonarroti’s XVI Century work. While considering some of the most visible contemporary theories, it also weighs their validity from a historical and biographical perspective. The cheeky and dynamic style helps guide the viewer through otherwise dense art historical debate leaving plenty of food for thought.
