Aurora

Aurora is a visual design and implementation project created for the 17th International Istanbul Opera and Ballet Festival at AKM Opera Hall. The work brought together AI-assisted moving-image development, original image and video production and scrim-based staging to build a layered visual field that could hold both scale and delicacy in performance.

The visual system was developed to work across a large operatic stage environment, using projected atmospheres, spatial transitions and translucent surface behavior to extend the musical and choral presence rather than simply illustrate it.
