Taormina Sicily — key visual
The challenge
Transform Taormina's architecture into a platform for immersive storytelling using new technology, without losing the character of the place.
The idea
Drawing on classical Greek aesthetics and mythology, designs were built with precision to fit the exact contour of the architecture.
The system
A 3D-scanned model of Taormina drove the video mapping; generative AI and visual effects created the environments and marble gods projected onto the structure.
The outcome
The projection ran at architectural scale on Taormina itself, mapped to the building's exact contours.
Role & contribution
I art-directed the projection and created its 3D content — from the scanned model of the architecture to the environments and marble gods mapped onto it.
