So many stories and myths, scenes and motifs on frescoes, paintings and fabrics are hidden inside Schloss Eggenberg. They are all connected, intertwined and weave the myth of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. As a contrast to the precisely calculated alignment of the palace complex, we encounter memories and stories in the interiors, even the seemingly fantastic, which also make up the fascination of this place. The artists’ collective OchoReSotto saw the starting point of their project “Entanglement” on the façade of the castle in the opening up of this very world behind the walls: The projection onto the building interwove the history of the palace and the art in the rooms with the collective’s own artistic approaches: the characteristic opulence, and in some cases scurrility, of the murals was worked out, women as heroines of the Baroque period were brought into focus and the resulting collage was placed in the context of the planets, which is so significant for Eggenberg. The resulting images seem to render the walls almost invisible and instead make a baroque universe visible, allowing the audience to look deep inside the palace from the outside. At the same time, “Verstrickung” wrapped the castle façade in a new dress and gave it a completely new appearance for the duration of the festival.
