ROOM

Sublime limits

A room that is open to and against that which would seek to enclose, a window that is open to the escape of illusion and the drunkenness of fresh symphonic and anatomical air, ROOM welcomes beings, creatures, dreams and nightmares without equivocation. This room is the vanishing architecture of a most noble sentiment: freedom! James Thierrée turns this room into a celebration that lasts into the night, a ball which allows both soul and muscles to unwind and take flight without restriction. A truly joyous event!
