AMO fills prada's deposito with terrain of theatrical lights for the autumn/winter 2019 show

for the prada men’s and women’s autumn/winter 2019 show, AMO, OMA‘s research and design studio, has set up a platform layered up with a regular grid of light bulbs that all together compose a performative landscape. placed in the grand hall of the deposito at the fondazione prada milan complex, the theatrical field of lights shimmers in the darkness of the room, reminiscent of nikola tesla’s bygone scientific experiments with electricity.all images courtesy of prada and AMO

AMO has surrounded the rectangular platform with a series of architectural devices, which are used to sit spectators of the prada show, including a terrace, newly built stages and a balcony. distanced from the crowd, the models walk through the dimly lit terrain made of soft spiky foam. the mysterious, otherworldly atmosphere is further enhanced by a number of dramatic spotlights that add an intimate dimension to the performance.
