About project

Felix Frank transforms architecture into a living, ever-evolving organism. His video mapping turns the building into a dynamic landscape of light and rhythm – familiar forms dissolve and reassemble into new configurations, much like images in a dream.

The composition begins with simple analytical interventions that gradually develop into complex structures before culminating in monumental geometric formations. Frank works with a restrained palette of black and white, allowing contrast, rhythm and shifting spatial illusions to take centre stage.

The video mapping does not replace the façade but reveals the geometries already present within the architecture. The building seems to breathe, responding to invisible forces. Reflecting on the festival theme, Dream On!, the work explores the boundary between rational order and the fluid logic of dreams: what first appears to be solid architecture gradually dissolves into unexpected transformations.

Artist

Felix Frank specialises in video mapping and light installations. He grew up and studied in Munich, Paris and Barcelona, where he completed a Master's degree in Motion Design. The hip-hop and graffiti scene of the early 1990s sparked his passion for creative expression and his desire to transform both his surroundings and reality itself. Today, he has exchanged spray cans for projectors, creating what he describes as "paintings of light". His visual language is defined by highly detailed animation and the use of carefully selected frequencies embedded within the accompanying soundtracks. As a result, the final audiovisual experience evokes the transformative states often associated with meditation and conscious breathing.

Felix Frank currently lives and works in Munich as a digital artist and designer. His work has been presented internationally, and he has received awards at video mapping competitions including Tokyo Lights and Constellations de Metz.

Location

The Archbishop's Seminary was built between 1925 and 1927 on a site originally intended for a church. Designed by František Havlena, architect and architectural adviser to the Archbishop, the four-storey building has a broad U-shaped plan. The complex includes the three-aisled Church of St Adalbert with its Byzantine-inspired interior, while two seminary gardens occupy the central courtyard. The building's monumental façade, conceived in the style of an ancient temple, is crowned by a dome that historically housed a chapel. This imposing façade, together with its distinctive architectural features, provides an ideal canvas for Felix Frank's video mapping.
