During Luminis 2025, the impressive Egeskov Castle was given a completely new identity. For this project, I developed Supergroove: an energetic and colorful projection mapping show where music, animation, and architecture merge into one seamless experience.
What is Supergroove?
Supergroove is a projection on a building where the castle is not just illuminated, but fully brought to life. Using 3D projection mapping, the structure of the building is digitally recreated and then used as a canvas for animation. Windows, towers, and facades move in sync with the music, making it feel as if the building itself is dancing.
The style of the show is playful and rhythmic. Think of:
Swinging music styles, ranging from Bauhaus influences to tropical safari vibes
Colorful visuals featuring animals, plants, and graphic patterns
Smooth transitions where the castle continuously transforms
The result is a form of light art on architecture that is both technically and creatively captivating.
The technical foundation
For this projection mapping on a castle, two powerful projectors were used, each with a Full HD resolution (1920x1080). By combining them, a wide and seamless image is created that perfectly aligns with the facade of Egeskov Castle.
Behind the scenes, everything revolves around precision:
Precisely measuring the facade
Creating a 3D model of the building
Synchronizing animation with music and timing
This technical foundation makes it possible to create a convincing illusion where architecture and animation become one.
Why projection mapping works
For those searching for terms like projection mapping, light art, or building projection, this project is a strong example of what is possible:
It transforms existing architecture without permanent alterations
It combines storytelling with visual technology
It is scalable, from small installations to large-scale shows
Supergroove shows how the right balance between creativity and technology can completely redefine a location.
This project is a strong example of how visual design and technology come together. From concept to execution, everything revolves around detail, timing, and experience. That combination is what makes projection mapping such a powerful medium within modern light art and event design.
