POST

Moya Facade is a monumental projection mapping installation on the Herder statue in Weimar, exploring how historical monuments can become dynamic media surfaces. The project transforms the neo-classical sculpture into a canvas for abstract geometries and layered visual compositions, questioning the relationship between cultural memory, contemporary aesthetics, and public space.

The work investigates how projection technology reveals hidden architectural qualities—the play of shadow, depth, and materiality of stone. By responding to the specific geometry and positioning of the monument, Moya Facade demonstrates projection mapping as a form of visual dialogue with architecture, creating momentary transformations without permanent alteration.

Moya Facade examines the emotional and perceptual experience of encountering digital media on historical objects. The project asks how light and projection can create new layers of meaning on places we thought we knew, opening up contemporary artistic discourse within traditional urban contexts.
