Playing with Projection

I was wanting to try projecting large scale onto a wall playing with abstract light and colour. I had actually spent time hearing all about projection mapping, which is totally awesome but requires some very hi tech (read expensive) stuff so I thought to start I would make my own version. I used card board boxes, old style 35mm projectors and LED lights….what fun. On the 35mm slides I cut out tiny gels to make the image. With the boxes that contained the lights I cut slits to make light shapes. The result was great for such a make shift start. The tower in the picture is metal with coloured gels stuck and light projected through it. It was the start of my immersive experiment.

The blue stripes are made from shapes cut out from cardboard box , the bright square that wraps the wall from 35mm projector and the tower from light passing through the gels on the metal structure.
