Arborism

«If god is a DJ how would the future of the club look like? As we shift our values to prioritize nature, the dance floor becomes our sanctuary.» An interdisciplinary project with Lily Kim, Justus Briese, and Ivo Keller. In collaboration with Club Zukunft from Zurich, we envisioned a future vision of club culture. We conceptualized a very nature-oriented and social religion called «Arborism». We brought the entire concept to life through videos, 3D animations and physical objects. In an exhibition, we presented these objects along with our video material. The videos were split in three sequences which played all at the same time. The goal for the visitor was to have a glimpse of how the religion could look like in a way that they experience a kind of sensory overload.
