Sonja Volmer is a designer who is specialised in making spatial and interactive experiences. She aims to reveal hidden adventures and new perspectives in our everyday world. For the OpZicht space at Stroom Den Haag she made an interactive and site-specific installation, which dares people to make new friends.

Volmers ongoing project 'WENTEL' is a journey that quite literally turns your current environment upside down. With one deceptively simple tool, Volmer invites participants to take a walk on the ceiling.
