OFF-Biennale Budapest brings two projects and a periodical to documenta fifteen.

The other OFF project takes place in the boathouse AHOI!, on the banks of the Fulda, a ‘construction site’ that has the potential of a playground. In a world of ‘whatifs’ and ‘whynots’, simple functional objects can become toys with the help of imagination, and a construction site can turn into a playground.
The buildings and installations created here are largely made from simple or recycled materials, mobilising the boundlessness of imagination, of the world of children, the liberating power of stories and fairy tales, in order to find a free world beyond the playground fence.
