Water projection – an image that won't be forgotten

Graphics, video or brand visuals are projected as a living image onto a water screen or water jets — the image floats in the air like a hologram and stops audiences every time. All installations are produced in collaboration with Dancing Fountains.

  • 5 m high and 15 m wide water screen in natural water
  • Also realisable indoors using water jets
  • Visible from both sides – images work from either direction, text appears mirrored on the reverse side
  • Weather-resistant: works in rain and frost down to −15°C
  • Consistently draws thousands of spectators
About the concept

Water projection – two ways to realise it

Water projection means video projection in which the projector's image is displayed onto water. The image floats in the air like a hologram and can be seen from both sides: images and graphics work from either direction, but text appears mirrored on the reverse side — something worth keeping in mind when planning content.

The largest and most spectacular version is realised in natural water, such as a lake, pond, river or sea. The water depth only needs to be around 50 cm. The water screen is 5 metres high and 15 metres wide as a curved half-sphere, and carries the gaze far into the distance. This option scales from city events to brand activations.

When natural water is not available, the projection is produced using direct pump jets. Projection onto water jets works excellently indoors: at trade fairs, gala evenings and other events. In this case the height is 3–4 metres and the width 6 metres. This version is also impressive when viewed up close.

Lights or additional jets can be installed alongside the water screen to add a second visual element and draw audiences to the spot before the projection begins. The installation can be designed entirely around the client's brand or campaign: logos, launch videos, atmospheric films.

All water projection productions are delivered by Dancing Fountains. My role is design, content production and programming.
