EINDER / surface

EINDER / surface It is the imaginary border between heaven and earth that the old Dutch word “Einder” describes. At the same time, the term is also a metaphor for the border between reality and fantasy, the transition between the real and the subconscious, as marked by dreams. With his audiovisual installation, Boris Acket creates […]

SOT GLASS

SOT GLASS Ana Shametaj and Giuditta Vendrame’s “Sot Glas” project is a sensitively arranged physical and linguistic labyrinth. Beginning in the Wundergarten on Graz’s Schlossberg, it continues in the Stallbastei, moving from impressions of dreamlike weightlessness with a view of the city lights to a warm, humming space that allows individual identity to recede and […]

CONSTELLATIONS

CONSTELLATIONS The work “constellations” by Detlef Hartung and Georg Trenz locates Graz at a point visible from afar, which provides both a unique view and orientation and forms an interface between heaven and earth. A cosmos of language and light transforms the fortress wall below the Graz Museum Schlossberg into a zero point for determining […]

REVERSE

REVERSE “Reverse” – English for “turn around” and at the same time a play on the French “rêve” for “dream” – transports visitors into a dreamlike confusion of space and time. Yann Nguema’s installation shows a contemplative choreography on the Graz Clock Tower, which allows the architecture of the building to step out of itself, […]

SPECTRUM

SPECTRUM Under the title “Spectrum”, FH JOANNEUM IDK design students are transforming the nave of St. Anthony’s Church in Graz into an immersive media experience. Not only sound and light spectra, but any concept of diversity and bandwidth is used as design material. The various narratives explore intermediate spaces and shades of emotional and semantic […]

REM

REM As a multi-layered montage of photos, videos and sounds, “REM” explores human sleep and makes the process of dreaming visible. The multimedia installation by no means attempts to illustrate a dream, interpret it or sketch a wishful image. Rather, Gudrun Barenbrock is concerned with grasping the world in all its intensity – including sleep, […]

FLORA

FLORA Abstract lines come together to form complex and at the same time very aesthetic shapes, which sometimes appear in curved harmony, at other times in angular chaos – these are the impressions that the interactive installation “FLORA” is able to create. The appearances are never the same, as they are controlled and designed by […]

VISUAL PIANO

VISUAL PIANO We all see and hear the same things, but perceive them completely differently. Based on this individuality of human sensory perception, the artist Laurenz Theinert creates experiential spaces with his “visual piano” that are free of messages, thought patterns and concepts and are therefore open to subjective and collective experience. In Graz Cathedral, […]

UNVEILED

UNVEILED With their audiovisual projection “Unveiled – Dreams are my reality”, OchoReSotto literally unveil the complexity of our reality, building on their previous artistic explorations. Seemingly solid images are fragmented in order to be reassembled into new, illusory and surreal landscapes. The play with subjective perception, with the constructed artificiality of truth, but also with […]

LUMIÈRE SONORE

LUMIÈRE SONORE In the immersive performance “Lumière Sonore” by A.I.L.O, light and fog merge with the dance performance by installation and performance artist Anna-Eva Berge and the sound improvisation by sound artist Fabrice Leroux. The interplay of the elements continuously oscillates between the material and immaterial: it seems like a quest for absolute detachment from […]
