Scenography for Grand Music Award 2014

The 2014 Grand Music Award ceremony was scenographically designed as a single art installation in which light and video projections together create a playful atmosphere for the evening. Musicians are placed within an artificial landscape of illusory depth: the stage's 20-meter depth is doubled by a mirror wall placed precisely at the rear of the installation, producing a visual trick of continuous perspective that appears to extend beyond the opera house walls. The installation itself is assembled from three thousand small plastic balls, which form a topographic field that the performers inhabit rather than stand in front of. Lighting and video projections move across the ball field, treating the stage as a projected surface as much as a physical set, and the result is a ceremony in which architecture, musicians and audience share a single, continuously transforming visual field. The scenography deliberately blurs the boundary between a conventional award stage and an immersive installation, turning an awards broadcast into an environmental artwork that the musicians traverse.
