PELLÉAS ET MÉLISANDE –
Scenographic Projections
Working closely with Marco Brambilla, I built the visual world for a series of large-scale projections at the heart of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen's staging — a 7-metre suspended disc at the centre of Marina Abramović's set. Brambilla set the celestial direction; I explored, developed, and animated the material, drawing on NASA Hubble archive imagery to map the emotional arc of the opera's protagonists.
An exclusive two-minute reinterpretation commissioned by Nowness, created from the five original scenographic animations.
