Fifty minutes of total immersion – that is the aim of “Lumina Catedral de Toledo”. Visitors experience the sensational multimedia production in the Gothic cathedral of Toledo in the centre of Spain. The main components are large-scale project mapping, precise surround sound, and a lighting design that makes the architecture of the cathedral appear even more impressive. As the technical service provider, Meraki Cultura Audiovisual SL relied Cameo lights from the ZENIT®, OPUS®, and EVOS® series for the lighting of the temporary installation.
“‘Lumina Catedral de Toledo’ is a globally unique multimedia and cultural experience,” explains project director Alfonso López Rivera, Managing Director of Meraki Cultura Audiovisual SL. “The idea for this project was born from the desire to create an innovative experience that combines cutting-edge technology with culture, history, art, tradition, and spirituality to bring the cathedral to life in a completely new way.” With a 29-person team of architects, historians, scriptwriters, AV engineers, communication experts, and more, Meraki Cultura Audiovisual created an overall experience that is both emotional and technically impressive, taking viewers on a unique sensory journey while respecting the cathedral as a spiritual place.
Unobtrusive lighting
In order not to compromise the immersive staging, Meraki Cultura Audiovisual had to integrate the Cameo lights as invisibly as possible into the church architecture. For this reason, the focus when selecting the lights was not least on secondary factors such as size, weight, and quiet operation. “At the same time, it was important that the movements and control paths were precise and linear, as details of the cathedral are repeatedly emphasised by extremely slow pan, tilt, and dimmer movements,” explains López Rivera. “With the OPUS® SP5 FC Profile Spot and the EVOS® W3 Wash Light, we can give the audience exactly the impressions we were aiming for.” The ZENIT® W600-D Outdoor Wash Lights with daylight LEDs were also given a special task, as they were directed onto the beautiful stained-glass windows from outside, allowing the windows to appear in all their colourful glory.
