he originality, the novelty and the diversity of viewpoints which Robert Hupka was able to use, allow him to light the Pieta in unexpected ways. Some of the most surprising and moving photographs were, for instance, taken from a high platform whilst the statue was being packed.

oing beyond the anecdotal aspect, however, the approach itself is exceptional. It is indeed very rare that a whole exhibition - rather like a long, contemplative journey - be entirely dedicated to a single work, revealing one by one the tenderness and the drama, the youthful grace or the nakedness of its metaphysical solitude.

his exhibition can thus be a unique learning experience for everyone, but especially for young people and students.
