LUXE LIVE
ICA, London UK
I designed the lighting and laser installation for LUXE's performance at ICA London—an immersive live show rooted in the symbolism of the moon and menstrual cycle.
Collaborating with Sophie from Badweather, Fen, and Elektra Thomson, I developed a dual lighting approach representing both cycles in parallel: one celestial and expansive, the other internal, emotional and elemental.
A suspended sculptural centrepiece, created by Badweather, became the focal point of the design. I mapped a 7-watt laser onto the layered acrylic tiers, refracting light into atmospheric textures that shifted in response to the sound. Haze, tree shadows, and gradual transitions added depth and narrative flow.
The result was an emotionally charged environment that blurred the line between stage and sculpture, performance and ritual.
