Re-Make/Re-Model worked together with Fusion Festival and the Giegling label area to create an installation for the 2012 Festival.
Fusion Festival is a music festival and a playful landscape of spatial experiments spread across an abandoned military air base 150km north of Berlin. The Confusion installation consisted of two cocoons created from a hard plastic mesh (which is usually used in road construction). These two structures were suspended from the surrounding trees and when the wind was blowing, the cocoons were swaying with the movement of the trees. Each cylinder could house up to ten people leaning against its walls from the inside. When someone moved, the weight balance of the cylinder was set off and people had to find a new balance. This collaborative aspect was an effective way of encouraging people to talk to their neighbours and create a friendly atmosphere. Inside the cocoons, the guests were hidden from the festival life while still being right in the middle of the action.
