A Night Out

Bed and Breakfast in the Forest / A project by Wolf * Navaridas * Deutinger

A NIGHT OUT Bed & Breakfast in the Forest is an experience-oriented performance project that focuses on mindful interactions with one another and with nature.

In collaboration with visual artist Bernhard Wolf and the La Strada Festival, we conducted a cross-genre open-air research and performance project. The concept involved living and working in nature over several weeks as part of an artistic residency, constructing a temporary structure for survival in the forest, and creating both sculptural and performative land art. Following the residency, the public was invited to visit us and spend time from two hours before sunset to two hours after sunrise, staying overnight and sharing breakfast with us. Hence the title: A Night Out | Bed and Breakfast in the Forest.
