‘Journey: Axonometric Realms’ is a 3D video mapping project presented as part of Light Up the Dark (2024), a curated projection event hosted by the Aga Khan Museum. The program features animated works by current and former students of OCAD University’s Experimental Animation program, transforming the museum’s façade into a public canvas for site-specific video installations.

The project explores spatial storytelling through the axonometric and perspectival techniques found in Safavid manuscript painting (1501–1736). These works employed a non-linear visual logic more closely aligned with axonometric projection than with the vanishing-point perspective of European art. By combining multiple viewpoints within a single image, Safavid artists created immersive, folded spaces that functioned as both narrative frameworks and symbolic environments.

‘Journey: Axonometric Realms’ reimagines these techniques through animation, unfolding a contemporary journey through realms where space bends and intersects with other perspectives and ways of seeing.
