art of freedom freedom of art. a multimedia project about artists and their right to express their views freely. d w dot com art of freedom. everyone welcome to the day special edition of your max full of weird and wonderful stories is what's coming up. heavens above a hotel room with no borders. policy time unicorns are out and about in london town. and

i'm a believer meet a german pastor and his noble sermons. let's start off with the role of the novel hotel never before has life offered us so many choices and literally as all fingertips thanks to all mobile devices but for two swiss also all these choices can really get in the way when you're on vacation and supposed to be relaxing so frank and patrick rick lynn have opened a so-called zero star hotel on a mountaintop in the swiss alps it's a chance to switch off and become one with nature a proper digital detox in the mountains. that's a good see peak near going to an in switzerland and twelve hundred meters above sea level two artists have set up a bid. the walls and

roof are absent. the hotel with no stars was dreamed up by twin brothers frank and patrick franklin by motional to get out of the something the interesting thing about the hotel is that many people don't know what it is is that our tourism you know gratian even most exciting thing about it is that we make people a bit on certain ones and. forget wallpaper the scenery around this bed is the draw for visitors from all over the world. this is designed this is built and opened up shop and it's been no vacancies ever since. he turned the tables as part of the gag zero stars doesn't mean any bare bones basics it's a whole new kind of luxury. farmer could be traced didn't have much to do with art until now now he works as

a concierge and butler. thank you at first i didn't think this would involve me so much. but i'm pleased to be part of this better that you may be. after milking the cows every evening the alpine farmer dresses up for art. the become and i'm convinced idea was to figure out how to shape the concept which is art of course and bring it to life so the players the people who live around this artwork become part of it. or without him it would be far too conventional. he jumps and hops or slips is right. he slips right into this artwork beaking as an artist the project is like a painting be it but it's alive. the farmer who spends the summer on the mountain pasture with only his wife children and cows for company is enjoying the constant flow of visitors. so pelli handed over to marriage proposals

one came in a helicopter. me goosebumps. it was really touching to see and she agreed to marry. you i've never been able to experience so closely want to see your know. a night at the hotel costs around two hundred seventy year a breakfast and alpine views included. the new guests arrived. the two friends from geneva were able to step in when a vacancy opened at the last minute. they were the first guests to meet the artists in person. thank you very much. i think this is the best idea in the world it's amazing. the two feel at home right

away. thomas drone hovers above them to immortalize their mountain high. it's brilliant i was the one who said we should come here and now we've got this sunset to look at this is going to sleep in the middle of the most beautiful mountains of the word we just sunset like that i can't even realize yet i think i need a bit of time i think it's a real it's unreal. entertainment is analog and consists of watching the weather telling jokes or listening to music. oh i. know no it's an artistic critique of the digitization craze. the guests are the stars at this hotel. when you see how people react they move around in this artwork get excited about it and we get enthusiastic

ourselves we can see that our concept is alive. and green in the morning forced the guests to retreat to farmer dietrich's mountain how to. the farms eggs milk and ham are on the breakfast menu all the food is locally sourced. it's a dream and then you wake up in the morning it's not a dream. it was quite an experience actually slept amazingly well the bed was super comfortable so it was very nice there was a bit of mosquitoes but it's fired you get used to it. the audience and turn down commercial offers for their concept including one bed worth millions they say they want to leave their hotels future open. on next artists almost certainly open to ideas their real policy animals a london collective that allow you to hire

a gaggle of unicorns for your event although there's no holes attached to the horn shaft in the heads up or rather eccentric on drugs called the fabulous of the unicorns you promise to brighten up any event using plenty of glitter he reckons living as a free spirited unicorn can save your life lets see if the horned head in this tz have a point. could it be any more colorful the members of fabulous of unicorns used plenty of glitter to get across their universal message of peace hedonism and charity. the unicorn is the symbol of freedom to live and freedom to love is our power. some people who judge us with their projections and perceptions believe stream attention

holes whereas in reality stream the self expressive. chest is the group's founding father. pete is unicorn allies perform at events around the world. we met him at his home in london's harringay district. welcome to the crisp local. chefs used to develop advertising campaigns for a large corporations for the last three years he's preferred to market himself and his vision of a better world but he's still a bit tongue in cheek about it. never waste anything.

and as we say in the paddock more is more less is bore. we live by the ten principles of you know cornea number one always be fabulous one another and the uniforms will deliver number two. well. i'm afraid if you know everyone. in the well. the other seven rules have also sound like a crazy mix of hinduism and hedonism. don't seem to be the only ones who are in chanted by mythology. meet up with like minded groups everywhere.

has turned his whole life around for the. for example the daily dose of exercises. and drugs. the idea is to spread the unicorn message among the people every week. shafton the fabulous of unicorns regularly perform as a dance group in clubs and at festivals and other events like tonight's rave in london's camden district. unicorn friends of course get the standard greeting. on life. like just the hard. i mean i've heard one and i like spreading this in my mind i'm going yeah this is

a place to practice and to keep on doing your place is on top of each other so i have to spread the love doing and saying oh. well that all we need now is the right equipment for the unicorn performance. go ahead. and a certain sense of mission won't go amiss either. the fathers of you know when the head because what better way to get people connected with themselves than other people through a guided meditation that goes into a way and they follow that you know cool and that can bring everyone together. and this is how it works you close your eyes breathe deeply and then gallop off on the word go. the unicorn story london's party venue several times a week spreading their message of peace hedonism and brotherly love and of course

earn money with their performances. and in spite of all the glitter and all the deafness chaff the dean really does believe in his message for once without a way i have a good and i want the. it's very unfair and i think it's self-love and south acceptance and south for. well benedetta so bufalino also has a gift but his involves fall less glitz a a much more humor the artist hails from france and delights in ironically repub to sing every day objects most of his ideas revolve around using public spaces for his artistic adventures we caught up with him in polo west some of his work was on the show. the estimate makes sense that doubles as

a disco ball a proverbial carjack and a telephone booth repurposed as a fishtail. many places my perception of everything objects the french artist injects humor into public spaces with please a cool installations to test the boundaries of normal. society is completely controlled by the rules everyone works from morning till evening takes the subway or drives everything is regulated what sort of a you feel i'd love to question these things and see what i can reinvent that i know there are people who came before me and had reasons to do what they have but why shouldn't i do it differently and move things in a different direction. for more if everybody really. benedetta thinks outside the box and gives objects we take for granted

a new lease on life back turning them on their heads. in the southern french city of cool benedetta created a soccer field that bends into a vertical plane. how could anyone play on the grass what he wants viewers to think about. the side of the just all sort of the aim is to get people thinking about what it takes to play a game that invites people to gather on this field and agree on the procedure and the rules it's a little like in a society where people have to find a consensus when they embark on a new endeavor. and that raises the general question of what makes a society what it is and how we find common ground to pursue joint projects. and. one of benedetta is best known works is his telephone that is a litter. lemo bile the video has been viewed more than one point six million times online. benedetta strolls through the streets to find inspiration.

sometimes the thirty five year old artist happens upon things or situations that get his creative sparks flying at a pinch of humor and flat out he has his next project scope out so you don't need a bit. mixer is the starting point here and suddenly becomes a spear sequence. and then it's eliminated it is on the new music is added and then suddenly people dance around it. it's but i'm interested in public space and here we have a new idea about how to appropriate public space in france hold us up would be it is best to be kept at the exhibition in full listening of the clerks are well received. and the vertical soccer field can even be played on. mr bevan ended up plastic to see how the people are taking this over and set up their own rules i gave them a few tips but the rest they did all by themselves. then adecco before you know

give screen ranges creativity and that can be contagious. now on to some music the band featured in next report is made up of five musicians five aquariums and thousands of liters of water between music from denmark and i'm fairly certain that they've created their very own genre underwater music they've spent fifteen years on a project called aqua sonic tracing waterproof instruments and developing an entirely new singing technique so let's dive in and hear what it sounds like under the surface. sounds both sperry call and mysterious musicians alone in their very own pool.

who have somehow to surrender to the elemental and and allowed to be flown to. little schoolman is a singer from denmark about fifteen years ago she started something new. i was experimenting with my boys i wanted to try to find new expression new sounds and then i thought if i i sang into the surface of the water i might get some feedback some reverb so i went into the kitchen and i got myself a bowl and i started to sing into the water. grab the chili i started to put my

lips into the wall and then my own mouth. and in the beginning it didn't sound too well at all but i was intrigued by this element what started as a home experiment has turned into a music project. actually named sonic. it consists of the five musicians of the band between music and their instruments everything happens on the water and precision speed. drama morten paulsen fills his pool with water some of the installation really change sound drastically. if if there are just a few degrees too much it's a little. they can push the boundaries of what's possible without any advanced technology or they use our underwater microphones to transport the sound to the concert hall audience the water is very different because of the disarming the water is very different from different cities different quality of water and you

can actually hear it. ordinary instruments make no sound underwater quickly deteriorate so along with instrument builders deep sea divers and a whale research is the danish band develop their own instruments. performing underwater is. extremely lonely feeling i think compared to performing in the air you cannot cut communicate with the other musicians you cannot communicate with the audience so you are completely isolated. all they have now is the water their instruments and then music each concept is still an adventure even their breathing rhythms are included in the composition they have to overcome the point at which their lungs scream for oxygen they managed to stay thought merged for up to minutes in the home.

it's much more about wondering. and the ability to somehow turn the wall around and look at it and a new angle. and after that refreshing dive we're off to the beach that's where we met coston a clergyman from alden book in germany for years he's been tackling the dwindling number of church go as with a rather unique approach is phrases his own mobile church and jokingly says he works for god's foreign office the pop up preacher travels all across germany and when he's not busy delivering some things he certainly knows how to enjoy

themselves. carsten holcomb of the traveling pastor from northern germany takes to his gourd whenever he can. it's brilliant there's nobody on the water and not much wind but this is wonderful it's a drag. being out on the water with our maker and you can switch off and really take things to the limits it's awesome. welcome to is just as unconventional as his house of god is that you have to force. portable and inflatable it's

a kind of bouncy church. that isn't in courts you have to take care that the cross is blown up properly and standing tall because it's for instance on and off she goes custom ok my tours mainly northern germany with his itinerant church hitting the cutting events in festivals along the way like this one on the beach at santa fe to ording this if. i take this church to kind serving festivals like this because i meet people who wouldn't normally have anything to do with the church because it's the motto of our project is if the people don't go to church anymore then the church has to go to the people. this is a church with a difference and the father of three got the idea for it nine years ago and he didn't feel like carrying on as a pastor found he sees himself more as a travelling servant for the lord plus it's a way to combine pleasure and profession. and surroundings are different life you don't have the formality you can sit and drink your latte join still talk about the

bottle guitar listen to a certain what is but it's more relaxed here on the beach people of the time they generally wouldn't have in their daily. mirror they're more willing to engage in a conversation. because i spoke to the service the transformation from kite surfer to clergyman is official. told me. kokomo started out as a youth pastor became a parish pastor and now he travels a lot representing his free church holding services and giving sermons on the beach whenever he has a chance. he's even married a couple in his bouncy church and the fifty two year old pastor's face is every bit

as airtight as the church i lined. it's going to be an even joy and i wish you all a really beautiful day here at the kite festival and for your words like i am with you always have no fear and for you to know that you write dignifying people. this is the i think that's a message that quite a lot of people can really use i don't want to force it on anyone but i myself live by feel tight and i've been through hard times and i draw sustenance knowing i'm secure that i'm protected that i'm aware god will not let me down but he's with me by me. hang gliding also plays an important part in carstens life he's been a keen fan for over thirty years you know is that thing fairest. you know. not a lifestyle. a christian pastor kite surfer and hang glider he sees no

conflict there only genuine experience there's hope we can we don't get always just knocks me over your i have the kind of time at the beach in a can do all this on my one of just a small percentage of the population is living such a great life. constant hokum is a pastor with a mission to bring the church to the people wherever they may be. that's all we have time for today but we'll be back tomorrow with another special edition this time featuring all sorts of sports about it for now. in our next euro max special. needs introducing hardcore champions. prize performa sky is
