Visions of Remembrance

The Remembrance Hall within Aberdeen Art Gallery is a space for reflection. It is on the marble floor of this beautiful space that the film appears, using projection mapping techniques to work with the circular shape of the room, the film is designed to be viewed at all angles. The film was commissioned as part of the Aberdeen Art Gallery’s redevelopment.

Our research lead us to quotes, images, and extracts found in the archives, libraries, galleries, and museums of the City of Aberdeen. We used these powerful and emotional snapshots from history with in the film, to tell the story of War & Remembrance.

The Bullet, 1916, by Joseph Lee.

Many bullets more than one:

God! Perhaps I killed a mother

When I killed a mother’s son.
