TRANSKUTAN | Analogously produced Projection Mapping

MORE INFORMATION: xenorama.com/transkutan
“Transkutan” is a medical term that describes the transition of a substance through the skin. In our projection show we explore the omniscalar coherence between architecture and body, between facade and skin.
The animation follows a fictitious travel through different layers of the human skin. It starts with microscopic cellular processes, investigates the facade as membrane and finally lets parts of the human body interact with the architectural shapes.
To achieve the desired visual effects we developed a unique workflow that uses analog and organic animation techniques. Therefore we created physical models of the facade in different sizes and materials that were filmed with a special, synchronized camera setup.
