I have been fascinated by human communities for years on a personal and professional level. Living as a part of a larger pack or herd was reality for most humans (and animals) for thousands of years. For a long time human communities were prerequisite for survival; they offered shelter and resources otherwise inaccessible to an individual. Although we don\u2019t really need communities for practical reasons anymore, a substantial number of people still choose to share their everyday life with several other, non-related people. They live for example in a kibbutz, monastery, ashram, some sort of commune or eco-village.<\/h2>\n<h2>The aims were:<br \/>\n1. To find out what makes a person share his or her everyday life with several, originally unknown people.<br \/>\n2. To find out what is it like to live in a community and if it is possible to detect an universal thread though personal experiences in various communities.<br \/>\n3. To operate as a connective agent, to transmit information about communities to anyone interested and from one community to another.<br \/>\n4. To produce a work of art that could generate discussion, inspire people and disperse possible prejudices.<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527350686690{margin-top: -5% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text] I was supposed to be working on something completely different.
