Sculpture Mapping — Monarch.Ohne

An experimental mapping on a sculpture by the artist Monarch.Ohne at Urban Spree Gallery in Berlin.

A sculpture by the artist Monarch.Ohne at Urban Spree Berlin lit by projection mapping

RESORB found this sculpture by the artist Monarch.Ohne at Urban Spree Gallery in Berlin and used it as a canvas for experiments in object mapping — light that follows, dissolves and reshapes the sculpture’s surfaces.

Object mapping works to the shape of the object rather than to a rectangular frame. The content is built against the sculpture's own geometry, so the light belongs to the form instead of sitting over it as a picture.

Urban Spree is a gallery the studio returned to. RESORB also mapped a street-art mural at the same gallery, rebuilding the painting in 3D and remixing it with light, and later created a mapping show on an artwork for an exhibition opening there. The sculpture belongs to that run of gallery work, where projection is used as a medium rather than a display.
