European Athletics Championships 2014

Opera Zürich (CH)

For the European Athletics Championships in Switzerland a particularly moving project for the Zürich Opera House was realised. In the course of a 3D video mapping, the topics athletics and art were combined in the form of a story: a virtual book took the observers back to the history of athletics in Switzerland until 1954 and to the Letzigrund Stadium, the venue of the games. The Swiss tradition, symbolised in the form of a clockwork, combined with sporting elements led to flags – a synonym for international participants. At the end of the story, the opera house regained its identity and bowed to the applause of the visitors.
