Swiss artists' hotel room offers sleepless nights to ponder the world's crises
The art installation — "zero star hotel" — is meant to keep you tossing and turning, and inspire you to take action. There are no walls, ceiling or doors to provide any privacy or shelter.
RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

It's just a platform with a double bed, no walls or ceiling, at a roadside gas station. The art installation is meant to keep you tossing and turning and inspire you to take action. Butler service, drinks, breakfast and a terrible night's sleep could be yours for a little over $300. It's MORNING EDITION.
