Circle Dance, EXPO Osaka
Projection mapping at the heart of EXPO Osaka 2025
Concept
Circle dance has been fostering rituals and strengthening community bonds since ancient times. At EXPO, we continue this tradition, bringing people together to exchange knowledge and create connections.
For this, I developed a custom algorithm that translates the colors, shapes, and proportions found on national flags into distinct moving abstract figures. Flags encapsulate the historical values and unique identity of a nation; this artwork leverages that symbolism to celebrate global diversity and interconnectedness. Each animated figure embodies the essence of a country, joining hands in an endless looped dance.
