Projekt

Diana’s Carpet, Who’s Afraid?, and Rose and Her Magic Carpet are three projects woven together by an interactive relationship between visitors, performers, sensory technology – and the carpet itself.

Diana’s Carpet, the starting point for all three, takes us back to 1997, when the controversial Princess Diana walked through a narrow, safe corridor between minefields in Angola in January, and later visited victims of Balkan minefields in Sarajevo that August. Her symbolic gesture gains new dimensions in today’s turbulent times, inviting visitors to follow Diana down the rabbit hole of the Paris tunnel at the end of August 1997.

Who’s Afraid? reimagines the carpet in a new constellation: instead of explosions, sensors beneath our feet trigger phrases in the languages of our new fellow citizens and neighbors. With the help of sensory technology, it all becomes a charming memory game. Who’s Afraid? encourages mutual understanding, acceptance, and the shared learning of something new.

Rose and Her Magic Carpet wraps up this audio-visual trilogy by replacing floor sensors with clownish intuition. Instead of video screens, a real clown steps before us. Rose responds to sounds transmitted through remote audio systems – and invites visitors to join in.
