Lovisa Carlqvist

Lovisa Carlqvist is a London-based graphic designer with an interest in performance and projection design. She aspires to become an art director and set designer for theatre, film, and television. Currently, she holds an offer to pursue an MA in Theatre and Performance Design at UAL Wimbledon College of Arts.

Lovisa’s projects often integrate physical space as a key design element, exploring its interaction with moving images.

Don’t Fall Over

A projection design projected that concretises depression connected with figure skating.

Installed using fabric, projections and moving image, the outcome demonstrates how depression can be visualised inside an athlete’s mind. Following a figure skater (Lovisa Carlqvist) during a practice session, the audience witnesses an exhausted and disheartened individual who appears to have given up on the sport. The project raises the question: Is the figure skater truly as sloppy as she appears, or are we witnessing her own perception of herself?

In Every Corner

A projection design project visualising piano music and its interaction with physical space.

Animated and projected lines show how sound can interact and coexist with a physical environment. Each piano key is linked to a specific colour, allowing the music to visually paint and decorate the space.
