‘Projections in the Forest’, A Short Film That Captures the Magical Beauty of Luminescent Life in the Forest

Projections in the Forest, a short time lapse film by Friedrich van Schoor and Tarek Mawad, captures the incredible beauty of luminescent plants and animals whose glow make the forest a seemingly magical place.

The projection mapping “bioluminescent forest” is made by artists Friedrich van Schoor and Tarek Mawad. The artists spent six weeks in the forest fascinated by the silence and natural occurrences in nature, especially the phenomenon “bioluminescence”. They personified the forest to accentuate the natural beauty by creating luring luminescent plants and glowing magical mushrooms that speaks volumes to any visitor that enters the minds of the artists through viewing “bioluminescent forest“.

Frederich and Tarek have provided a look behind-the-scenes of the film as well.
