Berlin artists Plastique Fantastique turn #stayhome on its head.
In a hypothetical turn of events, houses and air are contaminated and people are urged to live outside in bubbles. Artists Marco Canevacci and Yena Young of Plastique Fantastique imagine that a new, fictional infrastructure for living will emerge.

‘#stayout’ is an installation of architecture and performance art in Berlin that mirrors and questions our habits as individuals in public. Raising the stakes of our current COVID-19 crisis, the artists reflect current sociopolitical tendencies and create dystopian to optimistic visions of our future.

Composed of several pneumatic structures, performers in each bubble playfully invite visitors to contemplate the scenario and interact with the experiment as they grapple with environmental change, physical proximity and distance, private vs. public life, state and social control vs. self-determination and freedom, the emerging of social role structures, and the tension between isolation and communication.
