Nocturnal Delights Poster - A summer night in 1635 - why did a couple of priests, merchants, and secretaries located in Digne, Rome, Cairo, and Aleppo watch the solar eclipse so closely? And what happened 300 years later during the solar eclipse in 1932 in the animal kingdom of Boston? Decorated with fun facts about nocturnal spectacles to indulge in during daylight, the poster takes a interspecial turn in the dark. The glow-in-the-dark print creates an optical illusion of a shadow play at night. Two worlds attempting to make contact. Two species embodying one another.

The Grand Boemklats Motel is a love shag that translates the movement of copulating festival visitors into ambient music. Participants rent half hour slots in a mahogany-wood-clad vintage trailer with a classy hotel interior. The trailer is mounted on soft springs that enlarge every loving movement made in it. The bigger movements are picked up by strings on the outside that are connected to a Rube-Goldberg-inspired “musical fountain” in the motel lobby - consisting of drums, violins, bells, marbles and accordions that are played like a one-man (two-human, sometimes-three human) band. Smaller, more tender movements are picked up by pressure sensors applied to different areas of the mattress, detecting which part of the mattress was used and therefore applying different sound effects to the music. Other guests of the motel listened in enjoying a drink in the lobby, cheering on and applauding the players of the instrument.
The premiere took place at Festival De Lievelinge, NL in 2019. The Motel was fully booked and ridden. Created by Janna Ullrich and Jurian Vermoolen in collaboration with Ghaith Kween Qoutainy.
