Fare-Inc - Visum Mundi Cinema

Project Description:

Housed in a historic 1935 building, Visum Mundi is a boutique cinema that blends heritage, sustainability, and contemporary design. Designed by Fare Inc., the space features a 119-seat theatre upstairs and a stylish bar/lounge below.

The interiors pay homage to the past with a palette of military greens and warm wood tones. Dandelion chandeliers and vintage furnishings add a nostalgic yet elegant touch. A horseshoe-shaped bar with backlit steel panels nods to the glamour of classic cinemas, seamlessly merging old and new.

Visum Mundi is more than a cinema—it is a thoughtfully designed cultural hub that honours history while offering a refined, immersive experience.

The Shoot:

Working with the Fare Inc. team was a pleasure—they’re incredibly talented and great to collaborate with. The shoot was a quick trip: a flight into Amsterdam, a train to the small town of Wageningen, and a night in a historic hotel next to the cinema before spending a full day capturing the space.

Lighting was the biggest challenge with a dark winter sky. I used artificial light strategically to enhance the interior elements and bring out the rich details. Post-production focused on preserving the cinematic feel, creating moody, warm, yet refined and clean shots that stayed true to the space's atmosphere. Despite the conditions, it was a truly unique project, and I’m grateful to have been part of documenting this beautifully designed cinema.
