What if paintings could speak? What if we place them into the modern context, and through communication try to involve people more in classical art?

I’ve taken paintings from the National Gallery and tried to place them in a modern context. I’ve tried to make art more interactable, more fun and seen. I’ve taken my posters right in from of the Gallery, and not only made them speak, but I’ve also asked other people to speak for them.
