LUMIERE DURHAM 2015
Tales of local folklore projected onto Durham Castle’s walls.
At first glance, Durham Castle appeared to be a village made up of smaller dwellings. This beautiful projection transformed the ancient structure into a tale of local history and folklore. The installation was accompanied by a specially composed soundtrack by Ed Carter.
