Kinkajous A/V Live

Visual & Scenography




I collaborated with the London based Jazz and Electronic band Kinkajous as the Set Designer and Visual Designer for their new AV live show, which premiered at Southbank Centre as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival on November 14, 2025. The premiere was a sold out event.

For this debut, I conceived and constructed an immersive stage environment that merges installation art, light, and spatial composition. The back of the stage allocates six semi transparent gauses arranged in layers, creating multiple projection surfaces that wrap the performance space in shifting imagery and light.

To introduce a subtle yet tangible sense of movement, strategically placed fans generated gentle air currents. These invisible flows interacted with projected visuals and lighting, producing a fluid and breathing atmosphere where motion emerged not only from the images but from the space itself.

Visually, the work integrates abstract flowing elements such as water like curves, generative color lines and blocks , alongside geological photography and natural material textures. By combining physical material references with generative abstraction, the scenography constructs a spatial field that oscillates between the real and the imagined.

The projection strategy avoided conventional rear projection clarity. Rather than presenting fully resolved images, it emphasized light beams moving through space. In relation to the layered scrim structure, this created a dialogue between flat imagery and volumetric depth, enriching the spatial perception of the audience. The visual language echoed the cinematic, textural, and continuously evolving sound of Kinkajous.

Together, we shaped a performance in which sound, light, structure, and the unseen movement of air became one integrated environment, allowing the audience to experience music and space as a single evolving atmosphere.


我与伦敦 Jazz 与 Electronic 乐队 Kinkajous 合作，担任其全新 AV 现场演出的舞台设计与视觉设计。该演出于 2025 年 11 月 14 日在 Southbank Centre 首演，作为 EFG London Jazz Festival 的官方项目之一。本场首演门票售罄。

在此次创作中，我构思并搭建了一个融合装置艺术、光线与空间结构的沉浸式舞台环境。舞台后方布置六块半透明幕布，以层叠方式构成多重投影界面，使影像与光线在空间中环绕与流动。

为营造细微却真实的动态感，我在空间中设置风扇形成轻微气流。无形的空气流动与投影影像及灯光产生互动，使整个空间呈现出仿佛呼吸般的状态，运动不仅来自画面，也来自空间本身。

视觉语言融合抽象流动元素，例如水般的曲线、生成式色彩线条与色块，同时结合地质照片等自然材质影像。真实材料与生成式抽象之间的叠合，使舞台空间在现实与想象之间游移，构建出沉浸式场域。

投影策略并未采用传统背投以追求清晰完整的画面，而是强调光束在空间中的穿行。结合层叠幕布结构，在平面影像与立体空间之间形成转换与张力，使观众的空间感知更加丰富多维。这种视觉的流动与层次，也呼应了 Kinkajous 电影感与持续演进的声音结构。

整场演出成为一个由声音、光线、结构与空气流动共同构成的整体环境，让观众在不断变化的场域中体验音乐与空间的融合。
