[[File:CajaBN.jpg|thumb]] “The Solitude Box” was built as a physical space of solitude. A room created as an environment in order to collect people’s answer to the question: ''Was denkst du wenn du allein bist?'' (What do you think when you are alone?). | [[File:CajaBN.jpg|thumb|The Solitude Box]] “The Solitude Box” was built as a physical space of solitude.

The installation took place in Mensa, the student’s lunch cafeteria at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The place was not randomly picked. We didn’t want to expose the box in an isolated space, but in a place where people come as part of their daily routine. In this common, ordinary place they see a strange, big, black box exposed, that invites them to come in, but ALONE. It is an invitation to isolate them, even if the noise is still out there. | The installation took place in Mensa, the student’s lunch cafeteria at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.

In Mensa we collected 56 different thoughts from the "Solitude Box". Most of them from students in their early twenties. | In Mensa we collected 56 different thoughts from the "Solitude Box". Most of them from students in their early twenties. | ||
