Shangti Experience

Point your phone camera at any Philippe Shangti artwork, a print, a canvas, a gallery piece, and watch it transform into a full-motion video through augmented reality.

HOW IT WORKS Open the app, aim your device at a Philippe Shangti piece, and the AR engine instantly recognizes the image. Within seconds, the static artwork comes alive: the scene plays out in motion, revealing a hidden video layer that the artist embedded into each creation. No buttons. No menus. Just point and experience.

Philippe Shangti is one of the most provocative contemporary artists working today. A French photographer known worldwide for his bold, pop-infused imagery blending glamour with social commentary, Shangti represented Andorra at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019 and became the highest-valued living French photographer in 2024 when a single work sold for €290,000 at Monaco's Grimaldi Forum.

His AR series takes his art beyond the frame. Each photograph contains a secret, a parallel version only accessible through this app. What appears as a bold, colorful image on the wall becomes a cinematic experience on your screen. The contrast between the public image and its hidden AR layer is part of the artistic statement.

WHAT YOU CAN DO Scan any artwork from Shangti's AR-enabled series and watch exclusive augmented reality videos embedded in each piece. Experience art in motion, every photograph hides a video layer. Discover the hidden narrative behind each creation. Works with prints, canvases, and gallery displays
