In May 2021, Heaven's Gate premiered at The Shed, Hudson Yards, New York City. Heaven's Gate was a major exhibition at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, which opened in June 2021. In October 2021, Heaven's Gate replaced the permanent installation of Civilization (Megaplex) at The Standard in New York City. Public installations In 2001, Brambilla was commissioned by Creative Time to present on the Jumbotron screen in Times Square, New York City, titled Superstar. Inspired by Yves Klein’s photograph Leap into the Void (1960), Superstar presents a subject appearing perpetually frozen in time while the document of the moment itself slowly descends. Filmed in a pre-Matrix era, the performance in Superstar was captured with 180 cameras mounted in a 360 degree ring that show a 1/500 second wedge of time. In 2013, as part of the Art Production Fund, Brambilla presented his site-specific video installation at Time Warner Center titled Anthropocene, which uses LiDAR scanning technologies to track the terrain from the southwest corner to the northeast corner of New York's Central Park, displayed on two intersecting cinematic channels. In March 2015, he presented Apollo XVIII at Times Square – a video-installation of countdown to a fictitious flight to the moon using archival footage from real NASA missions and computer-generated imagery. In 2019, Creative Time and Art Production Fund commissioned Brambilla to create Nude Descending a Staircase No.3, which was screened at World Trade Center station. Nude Descending a Staircase No.3 reimagines the iconic Marcel Duchamp painting, Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2, into the dimension of time using machine-learning technology. The installation was also at the Biennale Némo in Paris, France, as well as the Maison Margiela stores in SoHo, New York, and Miami, Florida. In the same year, Brambilla created an art-video backdrop for the opera Pelléas et Mélisande by Claude Debussy at the Opera Vlaanderen – a collaborative performance piece with artists Marina Abramović, Damien Jalet, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, and Iris van Herpen. The backdrop was created using archival footage from NASA to "create a 'symbolist' journey through the cosmos which unfolds onstage." In 2020, Brambilla also produced the "visual intermezzos" for Abramović's opera 7 Deaths of Maria Callas. Inspired by cloud tank photography used in films like Kwaidan, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Breaking The Waves, Brambilla employed particle simulations to create impressionistic yet hyper-realistic skies that "set the tone for aria Callas’ psychological condition, or
