When you visit a gallery, after a day of hard work, tired of looking at pieces of art, just take a comfortable and relaxing shower. The form of the tent developed itself by holding a shower in my hand and pointing it a bit forward. It comes with an autonomous working pump-system. The Tent indirectly taught me a lot about how the media works. I sent a press release about the Shower-tent opening at a big camp-fair, announcing a model demonstrating everything working. Suddenly I found myself surrounded by 5 television camera teams. Later that evening I demonstrated the Tent myself on a Late Night Show." |
