Fractal Festival's first edition in Namibia was my trial by fire in large‑scale desert production. I spent a month in Germany preparing the CNC files for a full Fibonacci‑inspired stage—laser‑cut panels, ready to assemble—but once we reached the site, the combination of the desert's high winds, immense heat, and a lean crew made a single monumental structure impractical. Rather than force the structure, I pivoted: the individual panels became freestanding light pieces scattered around the dance floor. The pared‑back layout let the granite peak remain the star, harmonised with my projection‑mapping after dark, and kept the installation within the festival’s time and budget limits. Above is the initial concept for the stage and alongside photos of the final setup so you can see how the original vision evolved into a more landscape‑driven, minimalist experience.
