Bulrusher
Role of Projections
The role of multimedia design in Bulrusher is three strands of a braid that interweave to become reality: the character of the land and place, the unseen world of spirit, time and magic, and poetry of many languages and ritual. The goal is to present an initial reality from which another can be conjured or revealed in unexpected ways from unexpected places until it is porous. All the water is connected and the water is ever present.
