San Diego Zoo

To celebrate the opening of Elephant Valley, the San Diego Zoo wanted to bring a piece of the habitat beyond its gates.

So we dropped elephants into downtown Los Angeles.

Towering above the corner of Figueroa and Pico, a herd of photorealistic giants emerged from the concrete and steel. Designed as a larger-than-life anamorphic billboard experience, the installation transformed a familiar city intersection into something unexpected—a fleeting moment where the wild felt remarkably close.
