off menu (2025)
Role: Concept, overall organisation
Type: Collective Event / Temporary Installation
Location: Vacant McDonald’s, Darmstadt
collective: back2back
Short Description:
off menu was a one-night, non-commercial event hosted by the Back2Back collective (b2b2b2b), transforming an abandoned McDonald’s into a temporary site for collective presence.
Access was granted only through the contribution of an artefact. a personal object, handmade or found, offered as a signal rather than a statement.
The space was activated through curated sound by SAFA, minimal lighting, and a set of nonverbal, shared conditions.
off menu rejected conventional club formats.
There was no lineup, no fixed entry fee.
Just a signal, a room, and what each person brought.
