is a research agency for special services and unconventional solutions, operating from their laboratories in Berlin. Starting in 2010 Peter Behrbohm and Anton Steenbock have been working as a artists duo and collaboratively realized numerous projects on the interface of art, architecture and activism. Among others they formed the «Sonderschutzstelle» in 2012, an fictitious state agency service for special security and non standard measurements in public space. The elaborate performances «Habbakuk» (2018) mix fiction with political action and blur the line between art and theatre. It wasn't until their recent invitation as candidates for Berlin's Forecast Festival that Steenbock and Behrbohm are operating as Sonder.

Peter Behrbohm (1987) designs obstacles, digs for narrative fragments, constructs abnormal aparatus and installs fictions in public spaces. After studies in architecture, film and art at the University of the Arts Berlin and the Royal Technical Institute Stockholm, he received his diploma degree in architecture. Among others, he has been granted the «BDA-SARP Award» (2014) for the best German graduation project, the «Baumgarten» Scholarship (2009,2013),
the postgraduate «Elsa-Neumann» Scholarship (2015), the «Berlin Research Scholarship»(2016) as well as the «MAK Schindler Scholarship» (2018) given by the Museum of Applied Art / Contemporary Art Vienna. Many of his works are surgically intervening public spaces as well as its routines. 2014 he opened a «Bank» in Newcastle upon Tyne. The cinematic portrait «Kobuto» (2016) was screened and awarded on film festivals and conferences internationally. The elaborate performances «Walhalla2» and «Habbakuk» (2018, with Anton Steenbock) mix fiction with political action and blur the line between art and theatre. He is currently working on a cinematic journey to the center of the world – along the infrastructure of the internet.
