During the performances, two main videos were created. A first longer video (40-minutes) was projected throughout the performance on wall of adjacent building facing the courtyard of the mansion:
A shorter video (6-minutes loop) was projected in a small room at the ground floor of the mansion – storage space / old servants’ quarters:
The following section describes the creation process of this video art:
Since the purpose of the project was to give new "life" to the museum, the video through projection mapping was designed to represent H.K. Mansion’s “breath” in a symbolic and abstract way. The different rooms and spaces were identified with the vital organs of a living organism. In this way, the viewer had a visual stimulus that completed his/her immersive experience.
At first, it was needed to create an extensive visual collection of the museum’s data. We organized a professional photographic recording to be done on two separate days and we collected the following data:
At this stage, all the photographic material was studied. The most interesting images were distinguished and placed in separate folders.
