Thanks, that we can - FREEDOM.

17/11/2024

Národní třída, Prague, Czech Republic

3dsense was approached by the non-profit organization Thanks That We Can to create a site-specific installation marking the 35th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, as part of the Korzo Národní event. The goal was to provide, among other elements, a projection space for the short film Freedom Unites Us, produced by TTWC specifically for this occasion.

We designed a large-scale audiovisual installation featuring giant letters suspended on the buildings along Národní Street. Together, they formed the word "SVOBODA." (Freedom), complete with a period. The letters “O” and the dot served as projection surfaces.

The installation was accompanied by a stylized performance that explored the idea that freedom is not a given — it must be continuously nurtured and protected.
