3:36 pm
and we get enthusiastic ourselves and we can see that our concept is alive. green in the morning forced the guests to retreat to farmer decrease 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 telephone booth repurposed as a fish tank. benedetta places our perception of everything objects the french artist injects humor into public spaces with please equal installations that test the boundaries of normal. now if it does us if it is society is completely controlled by the rules and everyone works from morning till evening takes the subway or dryers everything is regulated but you know how you feel i'd love to question these things and see what i can reinvent them so i know there are people who came before me and had reasons to do what they have to but why shouldn't i do it differently and move things in a different direction i also applaud if everybody. benedetta thinks outside the box and gives objects we take for granted

a new lease on life by turning them on their heads. cut off. in the southern french city of pope benedict who created a soccer field that bends into a vertical plane. how could anyone play on the classic he wants viewers to think about. was a company just also the aim is to get people thinking about what it takes to play a game it 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. one of benedicto is best known works in his telephone that is a litter. lemo bile the video has been viewed more than one point six million times online. many ghettos stones 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. to you know in a bit to this cement mixer is the starting point here and suddenly it becomes a sphere with a sequence. and then it's eliminated it is on the new 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 and for us old us up would be it is best to be. at the exhibition in full listening of the works are well received. and the vertical soccer field can even be played on. the president. and i think you're better and that plastic to see how the people are taking this over and set up their own rules gave them a few tips but the rest they did all by themselves. then
3:46 pm
a better before you know good screen ranger was creativity and that can be contagious. now on to some music the band featured in the next report is made up of five musicians five aquariums and thousands of liters of water between new zick 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 tracing was approved 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.
3:47 pm
have somehow to surrender to the elemental and and allowed to be floating. leaders schoolman is a singer from denmark about fifteen years ago she started something new. i was experimenting with my boy so 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 gradually i started to put my lips into
3:48 pm
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 and what started as a home experiment has turned into a music project. actually named accor sonic. it consists of the five musicians of the band between music and their instruments everything happens on the water and precisions. drama morten paulsen fills his pool with water some of yesterday's really change sound drastically if if if if there are just a few degrees too much it's a little. star they 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 the disarm in the water is very different from different cities different quality of water and you can
3:49 pm
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 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 house.
3:50 pm
it's much more about wondering and 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 hawk emma 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 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 himself.
3:51 pm
carsten holcomb of the traveling pastor from northern germany takes to his board 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 you have. a portable and inflatable it's
3:52 pm
a kind of bouncy church. that isn't in courts and you have to take care that the cross is blown up properly and standing tall if it's on. and off she goes custom holcombe matures 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 and. 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 funny 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 steiff you don't have the formality you can sit and drink your logic on still talk about the
