World in Bloom
WOMAD - Studio McGuire
Idea:
We want to create a 5-minute façade projection that transforms the building into a riot of colour, as flowers from across the globe bloom and morph into one another, celebrating geographical and ecological diversity and creative energy.
Alive with movement, the building will shift from a single giant flower into a blossoming floral ecosystem, within which iconic album covers emerge and transform, weaving music and visual art into the floral tapestry and evoking a sense of joy, beauty, wonder and connectedness.
