Entry Descriptionchromatic fusion (2024) is an interactive projection mapping. Hands transform the façade of the Pécs cathedral into different kind of shapes and colors by knocking, rubbing, and clapping onto the building. They also create different sound shapes which will finally compose a rousing beat. Gestures encourage the audience to clap along to the beat and thus become part of the rhythm. The idea of interactive call and response within projection mapping is unique. The cathedral of Pécs itself becomes an instrument.
Sustainability ApproachBy projecting onto the existing architecture, projection mapping avoids the need for additional physical structures, thus reducing material waste.
Further, choosing to internationally travel by train to the premiere of the artwork, I've significantly reduced my carbon footprint, embracing a more sustainable and eco-friendly mode of transportation.
