Travel agencies sell experiences in beautiful places. They sell sun and sand, beautiful views, local food and happiness. They make it look like the experience is effortless, affordable and unforgettable. At Berry the sun, we also sell sand and sunshine but everything is slightly off or rather inside out, the travels are extremely cheap, the guided tours not quite factful and the unforgettable memories we try to create are in very very very hidden places. In fact, the travel experience we are selling are the most hidden, not even the sun, our eternal guide to happiness, can reach it: in the metro.

The metro is a public space, a neutral place, a non space and a place of transition. It is one of the rare spaces where we briefly share our living space with all kinds of social strata, backgrounds and interests. The reason for this is that in its very essence, the metro is never our destination, it is the most mundane activity one can do and yet it has a democratic performative aesthetic of its own. It is the symbol of movement and interconnectedness.

At Berry the sun, we therefore use humour to twist the meaning of the travel destination and propose to the audience, as an antithesis of sightseeing, to experience the metro and the travel therein as the most unique of all travel experiences.
