06 MANTRA MODULATION
MANTRA MODULATION ‘Mantra Modulation’ connects the past and the present: on the stage of the theatre, a virtual kinetic sculpture comes to life through 3D glasses. In harmony with the visual movements, a generative soundscape unfolds. The audience is not only invited to immerse themselves in this space of illusion, but also to participate: at […]
05 LOTUS PODS
LOTUS PODS These are tall capsules, scattered in large numbers across Graz’s Freiheitsplatz as if by chance. What could their purpose be? A closer look reveals that they are intertwined lines of light that form a shell. And there is more: these “Lotus Pods” by artist David Ram are by no means static. Instead, they […]
04 VERTIGO
VERTIGO For their “Vertigo” project, design students at FH JOANNEUM intensively explored this year’s festival theme: intoxication. The resulting works transform the nave of Graz’s Antoniuskirche into an immersive media experience that presents different artistic interpretations, ranging from the intoxication of love to loss of control, from the struggle between nature and machines, to threatening […]
03 POCHEN
POCHEN In Julian Hölscher’s architectural projections, analogue reality always merges with digital imagery: it is an interplay between the real and the projected—embedded in a narrative context. In the case of “Pochen” on the Graz clock tower, it is a multi-layered, ambiguous narrative. The abstract work oscillates between speed and slowness, between clear sound and […]
SPHÄREN
SPHÄREN Drei von den Besucher:innen begehbare Sphären tun sich im Innenhof des Graz Museum Schlossberg auf. Es sind riesige dreidimensionale Kugeln, die von unscharfen, aber doch lesbaren Texten definiert werden. Die leuchtenden Zeilen kreisen um unsichtbare Mittelpunkte, die Kugeln schweben auf und nieder. Jede der Sphären hat einen eigenen Themenschwerpunkt, die erste zeigt Texte der […]
1 OUR COLOUR REFLECTION
OUR COLOUR REFLECTION “Our Colour Reflection” resembles a rush of colour: more than 700 coloured mirrors cover the floor of the Schlossberg casemates in Graz. In varying diameters and heights, the mirrors reflect both the architecture and people. Colours and shapes are projected into the room. A playful and colourful, yet elegant world opens up, […]
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, […]
