Projection mapping, similar to video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technique used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into display surfaces for video projection. The objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings, small indoor objects, or theatrical stages. Using specialized software, a two- or three-dimensional object is spatially mapped on the virtual program which mimics the real environment it is to be projected on. The software can then interact with a projector to fit any desired image onto the surface of that object. The technique is used by artists and advertisers who can add extra dimensions, optical illusions, and notions of movement onto previously static objects. The video is commonly combined with or triggered by audio to create an audiovisual narrative. In recent years the technique has also been widely used in the context of cultural heritage, as it has proved to be an excellent edutainment tool.
Elizabeth Price is a British contemporary artist working primarily in digital moving image who won the Turner Prize in 2012. She is known for short films which explore the social and political histories of artefacts, architectures and documents.

Finger clicks, claps and samples of vocal harmonies are used to provide rhythms that structure the narration and create urgent, ritualistic undertones. They have been described as ‘rapturous, addictive, virtually artspeak-resistant’, 'mysterious, mesmerising - and utterly original'.
