Nature Knows Best
COLLECTIVE OSLO has been the creative force behind Costume’s most important annual brand moment since 2019. More than just an awards show, the event serves as an expression of brand identity and emotional connection - an experience designed not only to reflect Costume’s personality, but to strengthen its community through participation, atmosphere, and memory.

Combined Creations
Bob Recine and Bjarne Melgaard brought their practices into direct dialogue through a series of collaborative sculptures and installations. The works were developed through an exchange of making, modifying and intervening in one another’s materials, fusing their artistic universes while preserving the tension between their different perspectives and gestures.
Snøhetta extended this dialogue into the spatial structure of the exhibition, creating a series of interdependent pedestals that mirrored the silhouettes of the sculptures and added an architectural dimension to the encounter.
Light, Sound,
Movement
COLLECTIVE OSLO commissioned VOID to create a site-specific light installation for the exhibition, challenging traditional ways of displaying and experiencing art. Through moving light sources and unpredictable programmed behaviour, VOID transformed the warehouse into a dynamic environment where the monumental works appeared to shift, mutate and respond to the surrounding space.
To further intensify the experience, musicians and composers Bendik Baksaas and Kristoffer Eikrem created live-generated soundscapes, adding a compelling sonic layer to the exhibition’s atmosphere.
