The digital artist Kazuki Taguchi, who comes from Japan and lives in Saarland, presented a mapping experiment at the Places Festival in which three visitors each become an individual projector. In terms of content, Kazuki was inspired by the stories of Corpus Christi processions on Bochumer Straße. As with the traditional procession, his artwork entitled “Unearthing the Tale” is about walking a path together, heading in the same direction.
The three visitors have to work together and adjust their respective perspectives to see the entire projection in all its colors. Each of them wears a projector on their head, with which they project the same image – only in different colors – onto the walls. As they turn their heads, the viewing angle of each image changes. The vection effect plays a special role in the installation, enhancing the immersion of what is essentially a simple AR application. It creates the impression that the participants themselves are moving through the Bochumer Straße. In this way, people are on their way together – just as the Corpus Christi procession was many decades ago.
