Hi, my name's Thomas Dambo, and I'm doing a big project here at Roskilde Festival in Dream City,
- where we're building 25 --> 30 of these boxes, which the festivalgoers will live in.
They build them and decorate them themselves. Then the boxes will be stacked in in a kind of a
- LEGO pyramid called Happy Mountain. We will live two people in each box.
Last year I did a huge project where I built
- nesting boxes for birds made from recycled materials, this year I've upgraded it
- and am building boxes for people instead.
The entire mountain will be like an amphitheater around the lake
- which people can sit and look at, and they will automatically
- feel invited to being a part of the camp
- making it a very open camp, and a camp a lot of new people want to be part of, and
that's the reason for going to a festival, meeting new people.
Here you can see how I intend to stack them. The lake will be out here
- the boxes will be put in a banana shape around the lake, and in layers.
Here are five layers, but it will probably only be three layers,
- so that drunk people dancing to techno music will not fall down.
Later in the year the recycle boxes will be recycled and used as a hotel
- on a bridge in Copenhagen during the Images festival,
- where artists from different third world countries will live in them.
Come and take part in a workshop about recycling, maybe you can make one about recycled bicycles or food waste.
I need 11 workshops. You are welcome to come.
