Simon Costin, Set Designer, London

Description

This wide-angle photograph captures an elaborate, surreal set design created by art director Simon Costin within an expansive indoor arena. The centerpiece is a giant, smiling garden gnome wearing a blue tunic and pointed hat, standing next to a vintage two-tone maroon and white car. Surrounding them is a whimsical miniature village populated by small pastel houses, blossoming cherry trees, white picket fences, and oversized green apple props. In the background, a brightly illuminated carousel ride rotates beneath a dark ceiling dotted with twinkling lights, while curved pink pathways define the perimeter of the installation. The lighting is theatrical and artificial, casting a clean, even glow over the glossy surfaces and vibrant color palette of the constructed environment.
