Waldorf Astoria New York

An immersive room installation commissioned for the Waldorf Astoria New York, telling the story of the hotel through archive footage, stills and original film: politicians, musicians, cultural figures, pivotal moments in New York history from the early 20th century to the present day.

The installation uses multiple revolving screens. The score is multi-channel, mapped so the sound tracks movement across the screens. The audio follows the image as it rotates through the space.

The brief was to capture a sense of time passing and cultural weight without sentimentality. Music and sound design working as a single continuous composition.
