03 / 06 Video mapping
La Luz de San Nicolás
Overview
A 15-minute immersive audiovisual experience projected onto the vaulted ceiling of the Church of San Nicolás in Valencia.
The project blends art, technology and heritage, reinterpreting the architectural space through a contemporary visual language. The piece invites viewers on a symbolic journey where light becomes a spiritual, narrative and emotional element.
The show is mapped onto the Baroque vault and the pillars of the central nave — the frescoes that earned the church the name of Valencia’s Sistine Chapel. Designed and produced by Mediapro Exhibitions for the Parish of San Nicolás, together with Global Menta.

The template
The ceiling was unwrapped into one flat canvas — ribs, lunettes and all. Every scene was designed and timed on that template, so a line of light could follow a real rib from one end of the nave to the other.
Previsualisation
Before reaching the projectors, each scene was checked in a 3D model of the nave from three viewpoints at once.
