Contact Achim
Me he movido por Europa como artista viajero durante 14 años. Viajaba con una caravana de circo en el principio llevada por un tractor agrícola, y después por un camión de bomberos histórico. En mi camino fabricaba instrumentos musicales artísticos, realizaba proyectos de arte únicos y colaboraba en varios proyectos vivenciales y culturales. Hasta un día encontraba este valle paradisiaco, donde inicie el proyectos 'Valle de Sensaciones' lo que, desde entonces', es centro de mi obra creativa.

Octagon

the heart of the valley

Cob, Comunal living, Green building, Mandala roof, Culture, using Wood, Clay,
The octagon is the central space of Valle de Sensaciones. Thanks to its design it suits different uses: its a space for meeting as well as for doing workshops, it is also the kitchen and a turns into a dance floor when we party. We can tear off two of its walls and make it into a half open space for summer. Thanks to its central hole on the mandala roof and its vaporizing ground it keeps a nice climate in summer. It is made of 90% materials from our own land: clay, olive and ash beams, crushed reed, esparto and rush. n class="read-more">Read more »

Swinging platform

Floating on a carpet of sound

Senses, using Wood,
The vibrating surface invites to float, swing, dream, sleep as well alone as in society. The many strings tuned to the same frequency which are installed under the surface, are activated through its movement and create a "sound carpet" which makes the visitor swing into the world of dreams. This sound is not only perceivable through your ears, but it goes through the whole body and has a healing effect.

Flowforms

Water in a swinging flow

Rhythm, Sculpture, Senses, using Stone,
The special form of these bowl make the water, which is pouring into them, swing. It swings and forms an “eight” shape, as a wave which flows alternately to one and the other wing of the bowl. This movement is not only magic for the viewer, but it also stimulates the capability of water to clean and regenerate itself. It corresponds to the natural flow of water, which moves vibrating into the shape of meander.
