Balloon Saloon is an inclusive party where friends of techno music enjoy the sound via balloon hats, bracelets and other balloon accessories. Balloons serve as amplifiers for the music as they vibrate and transmit the beat over the balloon onto the skin. Therefore balloons are not only a fun eye catcher for the party community, they also enable deaf and people with hearing difficulties to perceive music in a different way.

Neighbours can be in fight or live aside in a friendly relationship – no matter if it is as states or intermixed peoples. With the aim to illustrate to children the advantages of friendship and exemplify a process of conflict resolution a simple neighborhood scenario was created from balloons: my house-your house, my family – your family, my pet – your pet. During the opening performance children had the chance to experience the heights and depths of German and French relations, which resolved in the closest of friendships.
Event: Kid’s Festival in Sarajevo, 2009
The project “Bal(ka)loons” took the form of a seminar offered at the Sarajevo Faculty of Fine Arts. Together with its students Sina Greinert and Sean Rooney installed a big hand made from balloons at the façade of the building, which is the symbol of a Bosnian youth movement Dosta. It has been chosen by the students as the message they want to send to the wider public. “Balka(lo)ns” came together as an art project in which balloons were used to create temporary monuments, with lighter associations for a change.
Event: „Deutsche Tage Sarajevo“, 2006
The fall of the Berlin wall that lead to the reunification of Germany would have been impossible without the civil engagement of Germany’s Eastern neighbors. Balloon installations were made to recall the days when Polish civil society gave an essential impetus to Germany through their peaceful revolution. This installation of a wall and its destruction by Polish and German hands suggests that the fall of the Berlin Wall was the achievement of many peoples in Central and Eastern Europe. It is hoped that this performance encourages action supporting freedom and democracy globally.
