Floating City is a large scale animated paper architecture commissioned by Barneys New York for their iconic holiday windows. Via a large gold structure built out onto the Madison Avenue sidewalk the public enters a darkened theatre in which they find a floating, shimmering version of New York City. The suspended paper model inside the window repeatetly transforms through 3D mapping and light projections during a looping three-minute experience.
