Olaf Breuning: “Woodworld” was one of the first large multi-media installations I created in 1998 for a Swiss Museum. I was very interested in transforming a video installation into a physical experience at that time. The film “Woodworld” looked like a music video, live performance, or a strange dream. A Range Rover parked in a forest surrounded by effect machines such as smoke, bubble, and snow generators. All effects have been coordinated with the music. In the car, one could spot some people with white makeup. The soundtrack was hypnotic and uplifting dark. My idea was to transform the mood of the visitors through the physical experience, the walk through the installation. Narrow paths, smoke, flashing lights, and thunder made the walk a frightening adventure. Arriving in the screening room, they lost some of the museum reality and entered a fictional world – ready to watch “Woodworld.” It was always an idea to show this movie in a real “Woodworld,” performing it in a forest.
