Filmmaker/Performer/Designer

We are looking for atelier/studio in Amsterdam to rent!
We are in love with Amsterdam and would like to prepare an exhibition here ;)

We are Bo and Joli, a Croatian/Swiss born creative duo living together since 2018. We rarely stayed in one location longer than a month, due to our childlike curiosity and the nature of our work.

As the two of us have been all about film for the past 6 years, film works have created big part of our identities. Since 2023 we are also touring with our own magic performance. Other than film and performance, every now and then we design and build something, produce music, paint, give massage therapies but whatever we do, we always cook fresh and tasty, no salt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since 2018 we have been collaborating with others, exchanging our energies and keeping the money out of equation as much as possible.
The philosophy of couchsurfing very much compliments ours and we would be glad to connect and exchange.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hanging out with us usually results in an idea for a project. If you are a like minded doer, we will probably proceed into planning and executing right away.

Otherwise we can do sports and cook healthy, raise body awareness through physical therapy and have some quality meditative evenings together with some magic tricks along the way.
We have no time to drink or smoke.
