Momentarium : : by Markuz Wernli Saitô

Paying attention to the untried possibilities.

Momentarium offers a discursive laboratory for you and me. with non-formulaic, experimental and vibrant initiatives that call on empathy and mindfulness amidst the circulation of everyday life. In a goal to establish connections that didn't exist before the experiments include interventions, mini tours, performance, site specific installations and surreal moments.

AT YOUR SERVICE was a daily, one hour public intervention series over two months in Kyoto and Hakodate. Every day of the week had its dedicated activity:

Mobile Tea Ceremony on Mondays

I Love Trash Days on Tuesdays

City Canal Tour on Wednesdays

Tree Guarding on Thursdays

Coin Mosaic on Fridays

Bridge Sitting on Saturdays

Vending Machine Stories on Sundays

Some of my recent projects include:

The Payphone Memorial in Kyoto, Linz, and Berlin.

Life on the Roll at the OK Centrum in Linz.

Tactile Island in Kyoto.

First Impression is a proposal for a relational name card.

Each moment of the everyday, every action of living, poses the question: how it might be lived differently, more truthfully and respectfully. Through conscious interventions Momentarium provides a forum of inquiry on human coexistence.
