Exhibition: 'The Space of Encounter – Zero to the 4D'

SD2547 Stage & Set Design 2022/23 – Year 2, 3 & 4 Student Works Exhibition

A passage through silence and light. Designers have been involved in set design for all kinds of performance since the time of Palladio. 

Space defines where we are, what we are looking at, what is above us, what is below us, what is behind us... but seldom is it really addresses at heart and to the soul, and that is emotion, the challenges is how to bring a poetic dimension through human life with different materials and how to create a space that is not just a repetition or nostalgia for the past but also opens new perspective that inspires the audiences with new thoughts.

This exhibition showcases the works from five interdisciplinary groups of the undergraduate students who took the stage and set design elective in the spring semester, 2023. The five groups selected totally different types of musicals and movies - from fantasy horror comedy to kids-friendly fantasy; from ancient time to modern city setting; one even picked science fiction - and re-invented one (or more) scene(s) to a new stage scenic and lighting design with a modern touch based on their own interpretation.
