One Two Three Swing!

Working together and connection are the focus, also in this individual model. The swing seats accommodate three people at a time. All those sitting on the swing must align their movements with others. If it works, you swing together up high into the air.  

By swinging, you turn the potential energy into shared motion. The work invites you to explore the power of play and teamwork. And thus to consider subjects such as democracy, collective action and social cohesion. The swings are therefore much more than just a game. They are an experiment in activating collective energy – energy that might be used to change the way we treat the planet and our vision of ‘living together’.  

SUPERFLEX was founded in Copenhagen in 1993 by Jakob Fenger, Bjørnstjerne Christiansen and Rasmus Rosengren Nielsen. The Danish collective develops new types of urban planning. Their alternative models for new social and economic organisation are often playful, going from drinks and hypnosis sessions even as far as plant nurseries.
