CAMPING
Mobility, migration, and nomadism have become key concepts in a globalized world. Celebrated as symbols of personal and economic freedom, they shape the lifestyle of the modern cosmopolitan – with camping offering one of the simplest ways to embrace independence on the move. At the same time, these very concepts can also represent poverty, displacement, and survival under economic pressure, giving rise to unconventional ways of living beyond the familiar comforts of bourgeois life.
The installation project Camping explored this tension between freedom and precarity. During the 2012 Variété Liberté art and music festival in Hamburg, the artist inhabited the life-size installation, constructed from scrap materials and found household items, and invited other artists to activate the space. Over four days, Camping became a platform for artistic reflections on nomadism as a creative phenomenon, engaging festival visitors in the process.
Participating artists included: Loukia Richards, Felix Schroeder, Urte Langrock, Markus Armbrecht.
