Projecting Possibilities, a digital public art project launched during the pandemic, returns to showcase local artists and to celebrate our rich, creative community. Helms Design District, in partnership with Culver Arts, will feature a new artist each month, projecting their artwork street-side on the entry doors to the Helms Design Center located at 8745 Washington Boulevard in Culver City. With easy community viewing, this outdoor gallery’s projections can be viewed from 8:00 pm until 2:00 am. Paal Anand is the Culver Arts grant recipient for the month of September. His work will be displayed from September 1st through September 30th.
ABOUT PAAL
Paal Anand is a storyteller who is inspired by the fantastical and the surreal.
For over 20 years, Paal had worked on making digital images in the commercial world for blockbuster motion pictures, broadcast, music videos, and brands. He has been involved in pioneering technical developments for computer generated imaging and digital compositing. His credits include work such as Hellboy, Pirates of the Caribbean, and even music video for Eminem’s “Without Me.”
His love for photography started while interning as a student at RKS Design and using the large format film cameras to capture product stills. His work has been shown during the Bienalle di Venezia and the London Art Biennale. He was named Artist of the Year 2025 by the Fondazione EffettoArte, was designated a Graphis “Master” and was recently inducted into the Arte Laguna World Hall of Fame.
Applications for the 2024-2025 Projecting Possibilities grants are now closed.
