Gigi Perez: Sailor Song
Music performance, interview, and photography
For Gigi Perez’s Spotify Radar performance, I art directed a set built entirely from her own world—wrapping the space in her original doodles to create an environment that felt intimate, hand-drawn, and unmistakably hers.
The concept blurred the line between inner monologue and physical space. Illustrated tentacles, science beakers, and surreal sketches spilled across walls, floor, props, and furniture—turning the Radar structure into a living sketchbook of Gigi’s imagination.
I led the set design and visual direction, interpreting Spotify’s brief through the lens of Gigi’s artwork. Collaborating closely with Grand Crew, the production designer, photographer, and director Geoff Levy, we created a performance space that felt deeply personal, playful, and offbeat.
