Reindeer Safari

Language English
Duration 5h 30min (breaks included)

The participants of the Reindeer Safari form a herd of reindeer, which moves according to the rules that correspond to the natural group behavior of reindeer. One of the most important rules is that the participants are not allowed to chat – reindeer are very quiet animals. The herd decides autonomously on its itinerary and the rhythm of its wandering. The transition from human experience into reindeer experience is acquired step-by-step, without the need of imitating reindeer. The idea is to return the urban landscape to its innate state of nature by observing it from the point of view of a semi-domestic, semi-wild herd animal.
