Catstanbul, 2025

Creative Director - Closing Ceremony

Artists”. On the one hand, artists struggle with the limited resources of the arts ecosystem. On the other hand, behind the production of most artists there is great creativity and expertise. I have therefore been considering alternative sectors to collaborate with and use my interdisciplinary background. Clearly, the Events Sector needs more creativity and artists! Thanks to my collaboration with Bengu, we have worked on several successful projects in this area already.

The latest one was Jupiter’s Catstanbul. The crypto company’s character is a Cat, Istanbul is the city of Cats, and inspired from the legendary Burning Man festivals, they had a dream to burn a Cat sculpture, as a symbolic gesture tied to burning Jupiter tokens.

It was an impossible project through the regulations and measures of the venue. However, with a great team and craftsmen we made an impossible project possible. While following all the health and safety measures, we worked on every detail with great curiosity and pleasure. We all served a common dream to make the ceremony conceptually and artistically unforgettable.
