His work has been shown in cities such as Linz (European Capital of Culture), Murcia (Manifesta8), Biennial of Lanzarote and public spaces throughout Europe (Istanbul, Bodrum, Tromsö, Dresden, Feldkirch). During his „expedition.02“ from Strasbourg F to Sion CH (2002) he was physically walking along the language borders of these areas and in the following years he has created and varied many walking and standing projects. His focus lies on the absence of objects, materials, requisits and the use of nothing beyond human presence. Beginning in 1991 with Ritual Theatre, he has progressively elaborated his idea of participative performances in durational projects such as the „12th months performance“ in which he ritualized elementary human actions (1998/1999) or the prolonged 3-years-performance CH LOVES ART (1998-2001), concerning the requirements of artist’s existence in Switzerland. His conceptual work involves minimal art performances of standing and slow walking. He lives and works in Biel and Zurich, Switzerland.

Thomas Zollinger (*1952) is initiator and curator of Body and Freedom Festival. He was engaged in the realization of two other participative projects, 'Procession of the Naked II' and 'Human Installation II'. In the police authorized Body and Freedom Festival, Thomas Zollinger presented the new piece 'Naked Audience', in which about 20 naked people were involved by watching the dressed passers-by-flow.
