In autumn 2016 the annual lights festival Recklinghausen Leuchtet commissioned me to produce a projection mapping show in celebration of the 70th birthday of Ruhrfestspiele,
a unique theater and art festival in the former mining town.

With a storyline, provided by the organisers and a huge amount of images that needed to show up, I decided to create dense multilayer composites in After Effects and combine them with 3d animations created in the visual programming environment TouchDesigner.

Additional animation by Lars Patzelt, Martin FInk and David Leroy.
