An Installation
in the Station
Conceived and directed by Ben & Julia for Volvo Art Session, An Idea of Luxury interrupts the everyday movement of Zürich Hauptbahnhof. An oversized environment makes room for costumes, painted surfaces and live action: a temporary world inside a working station. The eye becomes both receiver and emitter, inviting travellers into an imaginary journey while they are on their way to a real destination.
