Sala Hjärtslag
Projection mapping celebrating 400 years of Sala.
In 2024, the city of Sala celebrated 400 years since receiving its city charter from Gustav II Adolf. For the anniversary, I worked as technical lead and projection mapper in collaboration with Smash Studio, who created the 3D modelling and animation. The piece was an audiovisual journey through 400 years of Sala's history, mapped onto a curved building facade. Much of the work was done on-site, aligning the projection to fit the architecture.
