Before Rosalia embarked on her MOTOMAMI arena world tour last year, STUFISH was approached by her creative director Ferran Echegaray to help with the vision of creating a compelling and clean set based on conversations and ideas shared between him and the artist Rosalia.

A bold gesture of turning the stage in to a pure white performance space where the stage and grid above formed a continuum, STUFISH was tasked to help turn this idea into a tour worthy reality without losing its original power of being minimalist in a visually cacophonous world.
Great emphasis was put on the need for the stage to be simple and clean to help Rosalia take centre stage and allow her performance to explode and evolve organically around her. A white lightbox above the stage gave the show the vibe of a cinematic fashion shoot while the clever use of performer generated live image magnification mixed with layers of colour and figurative content gave the show an edgy feel with minimalist input.
The white surfaces blended the horizontal and vertical surfaces into a continuum where music, performance, video and lighting gave Rosalia the backdrop to stand out within the usual visual clutter of an arena show and deliver a performance that was unequivocally original and compellingly hers.
