People-Mover „Strangers in Paradise“ (Expo 02)
Switzerland 2002
Supermarket and underground car park
In „Strangers in Paradise“, the contribution of Migros to the Expo 02 on the Arteplage in Biel, visitors sit in system-driven shopping trolleys. They then glide through a three-storey building in eleven minutes. Audiovisual resources, sound installations, special effects and objects present Switzerland as a „Supermarket of ideals“ and a counter-world in the form of an underground car park.
Like being a child again
For half a year, the Migros exhibit in Biel invited people to experience Switzerland with the openness and playfulness of a child – as in those days when you yourself sat in the shopping trolley and watched as the consumer paradise passed you by.
The back is the front
In real shopping trolleys, pushed by father or mother, the child sits with its back to the direction of travel. Most of the time, however, this jumbo version moves in the opposite direction, so that the passengers can see the surroundings approaching them. The handle tube, which is arranged at the back in a normal shopping trolley, forms the front of the vehicle here together with the crate holder.
