In this edition of Le Salon, Jay Hofmann-Forster, Artistic Director of the Clockenflap Music and Arts Festival, shares the thinking and story behind his work, including a rare behind-the-scenes look at Minimax, his latest project exploring the subtle “in-between” moments that shape the experience of Clockenflap 2025.
Joined by Marc Cansier and Evelyn Teploff-Mugii, the conversation expands from festival-making to a broader reflection on liminal space, the subtle transitions between places, moments, and identities that shape how we experience cities. The discussion also draws connections to the Japanese concept of Ma, where pauses, thresholds, and overlooked spaces become powerful tools for designers and experience curators.
