The HAFU Project

Projection Design

The HAFU Project explores growing up between cultures through music, dialogue and projected imagery. Adapted from Luka Kawabata’s digital series, the live presentation combines Japanese, Swedish and Canadian cultural references.

A multi-panel projection environment shifts between landscape, memory and documentary material around the performer and piano.
