The Carbon Busters’ first ceremony invited guests to a collective celebration of experiences and reflective exchange. What better place to mark a turning point in our relationship with CO2 than the Haus der Laune (House of Whimsy)? The 18th-century building in Laxenburg Palace Park allegorizes the grotesqueness of the inverted world, where reason is faced with irrational desires. Participatory visual, acoustic and somatic rituals featuring #carbon handprint, #soundhelion, #hakoto, and #breathing CO2 were performed during a collective #solarcooking feast to honour the summer solstice of renewal and rebirth.
