Architectural projection is often connected to the idea of being spectacular - but not this time. Using the shadows of the trees and the plants that surround the French Institute of Tokyo, this piece is all about small details that are not visible at the first glance. By adding a layer of computer-generated shadows to the actual ones, the garden is turned into a nocturnal world inhabited by fireflies, birds, and anthropomorphic insects.
