Gala Contemplating You

Background

In the summer of 2014, the Dali´ Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, hosted a special exhibition entitled 'The Marvels of Illusion'.

At the centre of the show was an installation, which recreated one of Salvador Dali´'s most famous paintings, 'Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea Which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln (Homage to Rothko)'. Visitors to the gallery were able to become part of the optical and intellectual illusion Dali´ created and put themselves in the picture.
