A Party Where Everyone Is the Exact Same Height?
#TGIF everyone! Aren’t Fridays the best? Finally, it’s time to get out and rid your body of all the stress it’s built up over the week. It’s time to dance, drink, rage, rave or whatever tickles your fancy. Me personally, I prefer to get ready at home with a few friends, then a house party followed by a place to rave and rage and just really let loose (all in the highest heels I can find, of course) 🤪
But what if the party you attended had everyone—yes, LITERALLY EVERYONE—standing exactly at the same height? What if every single person at the party was leveled and they all saw eye to eye!? Not only would it be aesthetically incredible, but the message behind it would also be beautiful; everyone coming together to understand and empathize with each other. Wouldn’t that be something?
Well in 1997, the German artist, Hans Hemmert did just that. Named Level, the party (well, art piece) was thrown at Galerie Gebauer in Berlin. All partygoers were asked to switch their shoes for a blue, foam platform that would make each and every attendee exactly 2 meters tall.
Should we introduce this concept to governments all around the world? Would it help everyone understand, respect and sympathize with each other? Would it make it harder for greedy rich people to continuously live off the work of the less fortunate? In any case, I’d love to attend this party and I am thinking of making it my Halloween concept!
On this note, I am definitely putting on a pair of platforms tonight and I have found the 5 most iconic pairs that you and I absolutely NEED:
