Spa for Spirits explores everyday activities, loosening them from their monotonous and rusty patterns. The Spa aims to stimulate its collaborators and visitors to engage in sensory-rich actions and participate in peculiar, perception-altering rituals.

Spa for Spirits works with ‘safe sensory islands’, where the creation process and the presentation of the artwork seamlessly flow into one another, like a Möbius strip. These islands focus on activities derived from everyday life practices such as cooking, eating, resting, walking, washing, cleaning, reading, and more. We connect these rituals with artistic bodily sensation, placing tangible, sensory experiences at the forefront in a time when people are increasingly alienated from their own physicality in a digitalized, fast-moving society.

By engaging in handwork and bodywork, we shift the focus to mutual learning and development, exploring the end result with the community we gradually build. To support the experience we offer visitors, we create custom scenographic environments and craft our own tools for interaction, designed with attention to sustainability and often collected over time from the environment we temporarily inhabit.

At the heart of this process is experimentation. Together with our audience, we explore how our ‘wellness center’ can promote well-being, rethinking how we want to live our lives: What moves us? What is helpful? What opens us to the world and others, and what makes us close off? Through this exploration, we invite visitors to reconnect with their senses and simply be present in their bodies.
