Ideas for WOMAD
We want the façade projection to be a celebration of global creativity, transforming the building into a riot of colour, movement, and transformation. Across three distinct but fluid sections, the architecture becomes a living canvas—first blooming with ethereal floral life, then pulsing with music-driven album, Peter Gabriel and WOMAD artwork, and finally dissolving into a bold display of architectural illusion. Together, the sections flow as one continuous visual journey, building energy and spectacle while honouring cultural diversity, artistic exchange, and collective joy.
Section 1.
Ethereal FlowersFlowers from across the globe bloom, morph, and hybridise across the façade. A single giant flower expands into a living floral ecosystem, alive with motion and colour. Iconic album covers subtly emerge within petals and patterns before dissolving back into the organic flow.
The above are excerpts from work in progress for an upcoming commission at the Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille Cathedral in Lille using flowers.
Section 2.
Floral forms transition into a vibrant animated collage where artworks fuse and cross pollenate. Graphics pulse, fragment, and recombine.
Section 3.
The building itself begins to morph.Walls fold, windows stretch, and surfaces ripple as floral and graphic elements flow through the structure. The projection culminates in a full-facade transformation where architecture, colour, and motion merge into a striking final state.
All of these ideas are open to discussion and adaptation
