Double Trouble

Anna Heinrich and Leon Palmer have been working together on various projects since the 90s.

The duo enjoy working on projects that are open to interpretation. they use a lot of digital manipulation software to create peculiar and interesting pieces. They like breaking the boundaries between the real and virtual, light, material and architecture.

One of the more recent pieces that they created was made using multiple technologies. It was created and inspired by the Norse Myth of Shidbladnir, a magical shapeshifting vessel. This piece was called 'Ship of the Gods'. The pair merged this with the landscapes of Norway so the audience is able to get a bit of context and adds a little bit more texture to the installation.

To create this they used film, 3D laser scanning and lighting effects. Scanning various ships to create one large but unique vessel. the public were able to see every detail from different angles through the use of light.

Heinrich and Palmer were also commissioned by Peabody, in partnership with CrossnessEngines Trust to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the engineer who built London's sewers, Sir Joseph Bazalgette. It consists of 3D laser scanning, video projection, sound and lighting effects ti produce and immersive and dream like experience of the heritage building.

I am so intrigued by their use of 3D laser scanning to create unique pieces of work. I would love to try out this software/technology in the future as it is modernised with endless possibilities. I think the use of light will definitely capture the public's attention which is what I want to do in the future.

They have definitely shown that design can be made out of anything you want.

Much love,
