Seafoam Palace presents ‘Roadside Picnic’

In an atmospheric tour, visitors explore an surreal in-between realm of history and fantasy, where the projected world has gone slightly off the rails.

A planet that has left its solar system drifts aimlessly and silently through the dark expanse of space. In the otherworldly realm of its landscapes—inspired by the “Zone” in Andrei Tarkovsky’s film *Stalker*—different laws of nature apply: concrete blocks hang from gossamer-thin threads, water flows upward, and memories and desires take shape.

Visitors are invited to explore this fictional world for themselves. In collaboration with Berliner Unterwelten e.V., Seafoam Palace presents its narrative sound and light installation in one of Berlin’s most impressive structures.

Seafoam Palace is an artist collective from Detroit, USA, that has been organizing site-specific events, art exhibitions, and scavenger hunts in underground and abandoned spaces for over 20 years. Their planetary series “Falling Sideways” has also been presented at the Wieliczka Salt Mine (Poland), in Tunisia, Estonia, and various locations across the U.S.
