Post-apocalyptic angels are brought to life in a modern day tableaux vivant through the magic of 3D projection. The contemporary gothic scene, a massive outdoor projection mapping undertaking, is called The Party is Over, and was recently printed onto a massive 30 x 43' piece of fabric. The piece was then draped over Urban Spree Gallery's outdoor, artist wall, facing in the direction of the congested Warschauer Strasse train station in Berlin. It’s but one of the images from photographer Gérard Rancinan and author Caroline Gaudriault’s new show at the Urban Spree, The Destiny of Men. Using digital remodeling software, the Berlin based artist studio RE: SORB, projected the complex 4K animations onto the canvas, activating Rancinan’s static scene. In the video preview below, you can see RE:SORB reshaping the backdrop, playing with lighting, and transforming the texture of the characters in three dimensions.
