[1]On December 8, huge images representing nature, humanity and climate change were digitally projected onto St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City as a gift to Pope Francis on the opening day of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy.

The show, titled ‘Fiat Lux: Illuminating Our Common Home,’ was produced by creative studio Obscura Digital on behalf of a humanitarian coalition of charitable organizations, including the Oceanic Preservation Society, and under the auspices of the World Bank Group’s Connect4Climate initiative. By projecting graphics depicting the shared natural world, the show sought to tell a visual story about the interdependency of people, animals and plants.

The large-scale architectural projections were programmed to coincide not only with the Vatican’s jubilee, but also with climate talks in Paris, France.
