For it's 2020’s holiday season, Palmares Open Mall (the biggest shopping from Mendoza, Argentina) dared to go beyond traditional decoration and hired me and my team to design a new type of themed entertainment experience that evoked Christmas magic.
The mall's architecture successfully became a playful exploration of art & new technologies by dint of a 150m2 immersive multimedia world that bursted into action through interactive installations, full of lights & glitter, where visitors could express their Christmas wishes.

The LED screen allowed magical phrases to be unveiled with the movement of the hand, controlling the playful landscape.
