Description
This leg of Hozier's Unreal Unearth tour marked a new chapter in the show’s visual evolution. Premiering at Governors Ball and continuing through venues across North America and Europe, we introduced a refreshed design featuring six semi-transparent Vanish LED screens, each independently motorised and positioned across two planes.
These new canvases opened up space for dynamic 3D environments and a richer interplay between foreground and background. They reshaped the stage in real time—at moments folding the space inward, at others pulling it open—responding to each song’s atmosphere and narrative.
We continued to build on the visual world of Unreal Unearth, creating bespoke content for each track. Working closely with Andrew and the wider creative team, we used 2D/3D animation, live camera effects, and real-time Notch blocks to create visual content that supports mood, narrative and performance.
