MANIFEST:IO London, 2025About the work

How does what we create in one place travel, change and open new conversations elsewhere?

MANIFEST:IO is a festival from Berlin. In 2025 it travelled to London, where I developed, together with Shangyu Li, the concept, composition and set design of the space that hosted the TouchDesigner RoundTable talks and workshops.

The aim was not to recreate Berlin, but to keep a space of connection open in another city. The community grew, new people arrived, and the openness stayed.

Urban structures, forms and textures were broken into fragments: buildings dissolved into geometric planes and came together again in a 360º environment, generated in real time with TouchDesigner.

Collage of the spatial design: projections of the city in black and white and in blue, orange and violet, with figures standing in front Collage of the spatial design: dark projected city forms, grids of pink fragments and a figure lit in violet Collage of the spatial design: the room with projected fragments, a violet portal frame and a pale sculptural form
A talk under the title London calling Berlin, the speaker lit by the screen, the audience in silhouette, violet light on the walls
