Planet22 is an intervention space, a simple glass box situated above the entrance of a squatted building in the red-light district of Geneva (22, rue de Berne). The space was founded by Solvej Dufour Andersen and Peter Stoffel, in1999.

Perched above a doorway, between the private space of a house and the public space of the street, Planet22 is situated on the blurred boundaries between private, semiprivate and public activity. The interventions that make up planet22’s program of activity propose a particular language and reading in the context of one of Geneva’s busiest streets; they seek to incite questionings on the visual 'culture' of this street and create new interactions, collisions, which reflect or transform in turn what may seem familiar.
