Bispo — Coliseus

Art direction for Bispo’s Coliseus shows, 2025, co-directed with The Blond Jesus, with 3D by Ron Visuals.

It all started with an idea from the artist himself: “I’d love a consultation room, like the one in Space Jam.” From there, the show became a session inside his mind — opening it up to the Coliseu and showing what’s in there: what has passed and what’s still to come. Memory, longing, love and even heartbreak; friends, family, the neighbourhood.

We gathered old stories and wrote new ones, digging through terabytes of digital archive alongside a physical collection — flyers, photos and clippings, scanned and photographed so we could manipulate everything together. The street, the bedroom studio and the living room became the key scenes of the story.

Double exposure, combined with 3D, became the visual language of the LED wall, while some pieces of the set — the couch, the rug, the coat rack — stepped out of the screen and became physical again.

A very special thanks to everyone who gave themselves to this project — drop by drop, we all filled this glass.
