GENESIS OWUSU, 2023
The Struggler Tour
The Monolith
Genesis Owusu's The Struggler tour showcased a striking mirror monolith, with Dark Moon Designs bringing Alex McCoy's (Colourblind Lighting) vision to life through expert fabrication. The 10-foot structure stood tall behind Genesis Owusu, reflecting both the artist and the crowd. During key moments, strobes would break the mirror's illusion, revealing a tower of lighting fixtures, while a moving light at the top swept across the audience like the "Old Man waiting in the sky."

Process Details
Working with Alex and Zane from Motion Music, we built the monolith in a week, just in time for rehearsals. Designed for easy transport in a small box truck, it broke down into four parts. The aluminum frame was plated with ½” acrylic overlaid with a one-way mirror film, and lighting couplers were added for setup. Neoprene was used between the acrylic and frame to allow for temperature changes during the tour. The monolith was a commanding visual, perfectly aligning with the artist’s vision and album branding.
