Project Overview

Overture Video

The motion graphics in this overture video weave together the rare books, maps, documents, paintings, prints, and artifacts featured in the exhibition it introduces.

This looping introductory video showcases dozens of highlights from the early Americas collection, accompanied by a Flamenco guitar score and rich motion graphics on a 50” plasma display. This exhibition was a preview of the permanent Exploring the Early Americas exhibition which features the Jay I. Kislak Collection at the Library of Congress.
