Installation - Hologram Projection

With RGB, Werff Design, in collaboration with Afterlight, created an installation where light itself became the subject.
Based on the three primary colors red, green, and blue, this project shows how white light is constructed and how it can be visually deconstructed.
White light as a starting point
At its core, white light is a combination of red, green, and blue.
Instead of combining these colors, RGB reverses the principle: it shows what happens when you pull them apart.
Three projectors, one image
For this installation, three projectors were used.
Each projector displayed exactly the same content, with one difference:
Projector 1: red
Projector 2: green
Projector 3: blue
On the first projection layer, these aligned perfectly, forming a single, unified image.
The moment light falls apart
Behind this first layer, the real effect appears.
Because the projectors are physically positioned slightly apart, the image subtly shifts on the surfaces behind it.
As a result, you can literally see:
How white light breaks apart
How the three colors become visible individually
How small shifts create a strong visual effect
Interaction through presence
What makes this installation even stronger is the role of the visitor.
As soon as someone walks through the projection, something interesting happens:
You block one or more color channels
Your shadow is composed of color
New shades appear naturally
For example:
Yellow (red + green)
Purple (red + blue)
Cyan (green + blue)
The installation does not actively respond, yet it feels interactive because your presence changes the image.
Minimal concept, rich experience
RGB proves that a strong idea matters more than complexity.
With:
Three projectors
Transparent layers
A well-considered setup
An installation is created that:
Visually intrigues
Invites experimentation
Continues to surprise
Light as a material
In this project, light is not just a tool, but the material itself.
By making it visible, splitting it, and manipulating it, the installation becomes both technically and visually compelling.
Werff Design & conceptual installations
With RGB, Werff Design shows how a clear concept can grow into a powerful experience.
By aligning technology and idea, the result is an installation that:
Feels elegant
Is easy to understand
Continues to fascinate
Looking for an installation that is not only visually strong, but also makes a concept tangible?
Sometimes, the power lies in revealing the fundamentals.
