Bodies in Motion: Make your own Holographic Art with Kristina Pulejkova
Somerset House has collaborated with Kristina Pulejkova to bring a fun creative, family-friendly workshop, where participants will discover how to turn their drawings into floating holograms. Inspired by Wayne McGregor: Infinite Bodies exhibition, this session explores bodies in motion and the magic of holographic technology.
| Dates | Thu 19 Feb 2026 |
| Times | 12–2pm & 4–6pm |
| Space | Lancaster Room New Wing |
| Price | £5 per ticket (for one child with one parent/guardian) Recommended Age : 5+ |
Families will start by observing movement and capturing it through expressive drawings using metallic pens on black paper. Then, using acetate sheets, each participant will build their own holographic pyramid. With the help of a mobile phone, these drawings will be transformed into stunning holograms that appear to float in mid-air.
By the end of the workshop, everyone will leave with their own DIY holographic pyramid, and the know-how to keep making more at home.
This workshop is perfect for kids, families, and curious creatives of all ages.
Outcomes:
- Families to understand how to think about the boundaries of movement through drawing the body
- Families to learn the process in making a hologram
Health and safety
This workshop will involve cutting, folding and gluing plastic sheets to size to make the holographic pyramids. Child-safe scissors can be used, or cutting can occur with parent/guardian supervision.
We have set aside a limited number of subsidised tickets for those who cannot afford our ticket prices. If there's also anything you require to help make this workshop more accessible for you and your family (eg.

About Kristina Pulejkova
Kristina Pulejkova is a visual artist based in London, UK. Her interdisciplinary practice is informed by science and technology. Kristina’s work explores how the use of technology might lead to greater forms of sustainability in human-nature relationships. Working across moving image, sound and installation, she aims to build subjective narratives based on scientific data and principles. In her work, she tends to imagine voices from creatures, objects and even atoms to inhabit non-human perspectives. Through the use of immersive technology, her works often deal with environmental issues, telling personal stories that place audiences at the centre of the scene, allowing for a protagonist’s perspective and a different way of seeing.
Kristina holds a Magisterium Degree (BA + MA) in Painting and Animation from the University for Applied Arts, Vienna, Austria (2012) and an MA Degree in Art and Science from Central Saint Martins, London, UK (2014). She is the recipient of the inaugural FLAMIN Fellowship by Film London (2017) and currently is taking part in Resident 6 (2025-26) – a year-long residency with Studio Wayne McGregor.
