«The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway»

Sequences of images were created that freely interpreted the themes of Peter Gabriel's song cycle to provide a continuous visual accompaniment to the live stage performance (Genesis world tour 1975). These slides were projected onto three screens installed over the full width of the stage behind the performers. A laser-beam wand which Peter Gabriel held in his hand to direct the laser projections around the auditorium and a number of inflatable eventstructures were also made for this performance.
