Directed the video mapping for a luxury event at Hangar 1, Expo TLV: 7,036 m² of hangar, and fourteen screens suspended twenty metres overhead.

The material was shot rather than generated. A green-screen session with the Batsheva dancers Shamel, Natia, Micha and Maddison gave the movement, and it was built out afterwards in After Effects, 3D and compositing. The register ran to humour and the surreal rather than spectacle for its own sake — the problem in a room that size is keeping something recognisably human inside it.

Guests entered through an illuminated tunnel. The animations were cut to the event's own flow, aligned across all fourteen screens, and tested against the venue's dimensions before the night.
