Message from the Skies

Stef Smith's Love Letters to Europe. Hidden within the labyrinth of Edinburgh’s ancient old town streets, was our collaboration with writer Stef Smith and artist Eleanor Meredith. We worked closely with Eleanor Meredith, animating her delicate watercolour paintings and typography. The film was projection mapped onto a huge time-worn door and archway, layering this beautifully melancholy artwork into the atmospheric architectural surroundings of historic Edinburgh. 

Message from the Skies is a production for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay in collaboration with the Edinburgh International Book Festival and Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature.

An immersive poetic letter to Europe

Stef Smith’s letter charts the decline of a relationship, an emotional narrative where celebration and excess collide.
