In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, creative production studio 59 Productions has put on a 4-day projection mapping light show, transforming the museum?s iconic shimmering surfaces into a canvas for a dazzling light display.From October 11-14th, the 20-minute-long multisensory production Reflections combined music, light and projection, creating a show on the building?s north-facing titanium facades that told the story of the museum?s genesis and design.
Using Catia computer modelling technology (developed for designing airplanes), the projection began with a dynamic interpretation of Gehry?s original continuous-line concept sketch, before moving on to movements that referenced some of the most quintessential pieces from the museum collection.One act highlighted the reflectivity of the facade, enhancing its curves like Anish Kapoor?s sculpture Tall Tree and The Eye. Another took inspiration from Jeff Koons? flower-covered Puppy, projecting blooming floral patterns across the canvas. Even Louise Bourgeois? giant spider sculpture Maman played a role, with its intimidating shadow dancing across the building.
