'Simulacra’ transforms a neo-Gothic church with the power of light

The Light Harvest Studio group has used the video mapping technique to project onto the surface of an abandoned neo-Gothic church in Brooklin (New York, Us.) as part of the show 'Simulacra'.

An abandoned church in Brooklyn takes on new life in the show 'Simulacra', where, through the video mapping technique, images are projected onto uneven surfaces. In the production you can see how the interior of the dome, the altar and the walls of the church – neo-Gothic style- become the canvas where various images and geometric figures are projected, giving a feeling of being in a dream. The show seeks to make the viewer question the idea of a unique reality with the rapid presentation of simulations that make up our post-modern human experience.. Like a map without territory, these simulations give an indication about the existence of a hyper-reality, while the true essence of reality becomes increasingly airtight., fragmented and decadent by disuse.

'Simulacra’ has been created by filmmaker Ryan Uzilevsky, with the collaboration of animators, composers and studio experts Light Harvest Studio and Bobby Redd. The project features sound design by Brandon Wolcott and Sky White Tiger. The animation has been made by Whitney Alexander, and a 3D camera by Kevin Bleach. Additional design has been done by Christopher Pugliese.
