i'm a believer meet a german pastor and his mobile servants. let's start off with a rather novel hotel never before has life offered us so many choices i'm literally has all think it's hips thanks to all mobile devices but for two swiss also it's all these choices can really get in the way when you're on the 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 plop a digital detox in the mountains. that's a good see peak near going to in switzerland and twelve hundred meters above sea level two artists have set up a bid. the walls and
12:32 pm
roof are absent. the hotel with no stars was dreamed up by twin brothers frank and patrick franklin by motional to get out of sync with something the interesting thing about the hotel is that many people don't know what it is is that our tourism you know ration you know most exciting thing about it is that we make people a bit on certain ones and. forget wallpapered the scenery around this bed is the draw for visitors from all over the world. and this is designed this event 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 a bare bones basics it's a whole new kind of luxury. car market 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 they be. after milking the cows every evening the alpine farmer dresses up for art. the he come on 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 and the people who live around this artwork become part of it. without him it would be far too conventional. he jumps and hops or slips is right. he slips right into this artwork making as an artist and 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 calloused for company is enjoying the constant flow of visitors. belly handed out to marriage
12:34 pm
proposals one came in a helicopter. me goose bumps. it was really touching. she agreed to marry. you i've never been able to experience so closely want to see your new. baby sit still but. a night at the hotel costs around two hundred seventy euro breakfast and our fine views included. the new guests. but true 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. coming through all spam thank you very much. i think this is the best idea in the world it's amazing. to to feel at home right
12:35 pm
away fail time lines 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 descend said 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 it's an artistic critique of the digitization craze. the guests are the stars at this hotel. when you see how people react how they move around in this artwork and get excited about it and we get
12:36 pm
enthusiastic ourselves and we can see that our concept is alive. rain in the morning forced the guests to retreat to farmer dietrich's mountain how to. 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 artists have turned down commercial offers for their concept including one bid worth millions they say they want to leave their hotels future open. next artists are most certainly open to ideas there are 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 draws cold 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 let's see if the horns head in this 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 and. some people who judge us with their suggestions and perceptions believe stream
12:38 pm
attention holes whereas in reality where the stream itself expressed the. shaft is the group's founding father. he and his unicorn allies perform at events around the world. we met him at his home in london's harringay district. welcome to the crystal palace. chef to use to develop advertising campaigns for 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 any beer.
12:39 pm
and as we say in the paddock more is more less is bull. we live by the ten principles of you know cornea number one always be fabulous one another and the uniforms will deliver number two. when you. are free if you know if you are. in the while. the other seven rules of you also sound like a crazy mix of hinduism and hedonism and the london based you don't seem to be the only ones who are enchanted by mythology the fabulous of unicorns meet up with like minded groups everywhere.
12:40 pm
dean has turned his whole life around for the unicorn for example the daily dose of strength exercises. and drugs. the idea is to spread the unicorn message among the people every week. shaphan 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 a hog. i mean i've heard one and i like spreading this in my mind i'm going
12:41 pm
yeah this employee who practices me to the bone doing your case is going to be china high enough to spread the love doing and saying. 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 the head because well but a way to get people connected with themselves and other people through a guided meditation that goes into play and they follow that you know cool and can bring everyone together. and this is how it works you close your eyes breathe deeply and then gallop all on the word go. the unicorn story london's party then you several times a week spreading their message of peace hedonism and brotherly love and of course
12:42 pm
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 gift and i want the. it's very unfair and i think if south love and south acceptance and south florida. well benedetta so bufalino also has a gift but his involves fall less glitter and much more humor the artist tells from france and delights in ironically repub to sing every day objects most of his ideas revolve around using public spaces for his artistic and ventures we caught up with him in polo west some of his work was on show. the cement mixer that doubles as a disco ball a proverbial carjack and
12:43 pm
a telephone booth repurposed as a first chance. benedetta plays with my perception of everything not just the french artist to inject humor into public spaces with lisa go installations that 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 are. but why shouldn't i do it differently and move things in a different direction also applaud if everybody. benedetta thinks outside the box and gives objects we take for granted
12:44 pm
a new lease on life by turning them on their heads. in the southern french city hall benedetta created a soccer field that bends into a vertical plane. how could anyone play on the couch what he wants viewers to think about. the sighted us hope was that they just fall short 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. immobile video has been viewed more than one point six million times online. stolz through the streets to find inspiration.
12:45 pm
sometimes the thirty five year old artist happens upon things or situations that get his creative sparks flying. at a pinch of humor and fly he has his next project his group out so you don't need a bit to mix there is the starting point here and suddenly becomes a sphere sequence. and then it's a limited edition and then the music is added and then suddenly people dance around . it but i'm interested in public space and here we have a new idea about how to appropriate public space in fact hold us up a period as opposed to be. at the exhibition in full listening of the works are well received. in the vertical soccer field can even be played on. that stuff for. everything better and fantastic 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 and. then
12:46 pm
a battle before you know gives free rein to his creativity and that can be contagious. so 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 all 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 crazing 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 called and mysterious musicians alone in their very own pool.
12:47 pm
have somehow to surrender to the elemental and and allowed to be floating a. 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 would get some feedback from reverb so i went into the kitchen and i got myself a bowl and i started to sing into the water grappling i started to cook my lips
12:48 pm
into the wall and then my own mouth. and in the beginning it 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 precisions. drummer morten paulsen fills his pool with water some of the installation really change sound drastically if if 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
12:49 pm
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 on the water 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 their 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 house.
12:50 pm
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 old and book in germany for years he's been tackling the dwindling number of church go as with a rather unique approach he's praises 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
12:51 pm
themselves. carsten holcomb of the traveling pastor from northern germany takes to his court whenever he can. either it's brilliant there's nobody on the water or 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 is just as unconventional as his house of god is that what you have to force. portable and inflatable it's a kind of bouncy church. there's
12:52 pm
a wooden courts you have to take care of that the cross is blown up properly i'm standing tall because it's done and off she goes custom welcome my tours mainly northern germany with his itinerant church hitting the cutting events in festivals along the way like this one on the beach in santa fe to ording. 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 with. 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 is one he sees himself more as a travelling servant for the lord plus it's a way to combine pleasure and profession i thought i'm going to surroundings are different life you don't have the formality you can sit and drink your latte join
12:53 pm
still talk about the bottle or listen to a certain what is it but it's more relaxed here on the beach and people have the time they generally wouldn't have in their daily. mirror they're more willing to engage in a conversation. because i spoke of the service the transformation from kite surfer to clergyman is official. though. i mean no. no or. ok most 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
12:54 pm
as airtight as the church eyeline. it's going to be an even joy and i wish you all a really beautiful day here at the kite festival and for you to hear words like i am with you always have no fear and for you to know that you are a dignified people on this and about fifty 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 via skype 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 it's by me oh. 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 fast. you know. now the lifestyle. a christian their pastor kite surfer and hang glider he sees no
