 For the second year in a row, OCAD University and the European Union are teaming up to illuminate [Nuit Blanche](https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/festivals-events/nuitblanche/), Toronto’s all-night celebration of contemporary art, with the city’s largest projection of art.

On the night of Oct. 4 to 5, the historic Canada Malting Silos, located on Toronto’s waterfront, will be transformed into a moving canvas of light, dance, and water in a stunning large-scale cinematic projection, *Dissolving Boundaries*.

Presented by OCAD U’s [Global Centre for Climate Action](https://www.ocadu.ca/research-and-innovation/research-labs-centres/global-centre-climate-action) in partnership with the [Delegation of the European Union to Canada](https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/canada_en), the large-scale projection was created by Alessandro Grisendi and Marco Noviello of Italian collective [OOOPStudio](https://www.ooopstudio.it/en/about/).

Responding to Nuit Blanche’s curatorial framework *Poetic Justice**,*** the piece envisions a renewed relationship with water based on reciprocity, reverence, and care**.**

The installation uses projection mapping to animate the silos, revealing a dancer’s movements that ripple across the concrete surface, creating waves that surge, dissolve, and re-form in an endless cycle. Blending choreography and digital media, the work reflects on how humans can build a more reciprocal and respectful relationship with water.
