Hotel Regina is a collective that has been in existence since 2016. Our work is rooted in the fields of art, design, and performance and is characterized by a wide variety of media. We work with photography, film, text, and music—through performance and installation—while continually breaking the rules of these media and methods and making them the subject of our creative work. Our projects emerge within thematic and local contexts, whose structures, processes, and narratives we seek to examine in a (self-)critical manner. We respond to what we encounter with playful interventions that present themselves as proposals for negotiation. In doing so, we have developed a working method that is highly open to process and makes the environment in which a project takes place the most important actor.
