CASE / PROCESS

From production problem to final image

01

Challenge

The symbolic balance of the paintings had to remain legible across two very different ultra-wide displays.

02

Process

  • Structured the space and lighting so moonlight and sunlight meet at the central five peaks.
  • Composited the waterfalls from separate sources to reduce particle flicker and noise.
  • Reframed focal points and key objects for the H.art1 and Gate DS displays.
03

Result

Selected for DMAF 2026 exhibition and prepared for the distinct screen formats at Gate DS and H.art1.
