Deconstructing the disco ball
The Bilbao BBK Live 2018 festival took place over three days on Mount Kobetas in Bilbao and featured artists such as Florence + The Machine, The XX, Gorillaz, Childish Gambino, and many more.
Zuloark designed the festival’s scenography, embracing circular design and material reuse in line with our “Second Lives” design philosophy and the organization’s commitment to sustainability. The design focused on wood as the main material, reusing structures from previous years with new finishes and compositions.
One of the highlights of this year’s festival was the addition of a new area, Lasai, dedicated to relaxed electronic music.
This time, we aimed to deconstruct an iconic festival element: the mirror disco ball, transforming all festival scenography into mirrors. Each piece reflected the privileged natural surroundings and the atmosphere of BBK 2018, distorting the festival’s reality as if seen through a large kaleidoscope.
Here we share part of the creative process behind Zuloark’s work for Bilbao BBK Live 2018: some of the illustrations that inspired the design and communication of the festival’s scenography. Some of these pieces were constructed, while others were not. This catalog showcases the best proposals from 2018.
