The exhibition is presented as a “unique and immersive experience” and features the joint work by Sia and Daniel Askill, whose video clips, created since 2003, total over two billion views worldwide and several Grammy nominations. “Chandelier”, “Elastic Heart”, “Breath Me”, “Big Girls Cry”, “Alive”, “Cheap Thrills” or “The Greatest” are but some examples of this successful partnership.

This sort of visual image also includes never seen backstage scenes and a new video, especially created by Daniel Askill to the Porto exhibition.
