The Secret Laboratory

Schloss Augustusburg, Saxony, Germany

In the summer of 2025, I was asked to create two illusions for a new, experiential learning experience at Schloss Augustusburg, a UNESCO World Heritage castle: a projection-mapped shadow projection on a conservatory window, and a Pepper’s Ghost of molten silver pouring into moulds.

More information on the overall experience can be found on Blooloop’s article, here.

The short video below showcases how we achieved the shadow projection, in which Anne of Denmark, Electress of Saxony, greets our guests and introduces them to her pioneering work in herbal medicine.
