In this alien world, fruit conquers all. They are the main beings of their ecosystem and rely on each other and the planet to survive. Some of them have been taken away by humans for “scientific purposes”. They are here in front of you and are dying and screaming as soon as a human approaches.

FRÜGELA is a glass synthesizer

When you come into contact with these alien fruits, they come alive. Touching them will activate the sensor and will make the fruits emit light and sound. This way you are able to compose your own experience.
