Through the windows of the caf\u00e9 pavilion in the garden of Schloss Eggenberg, you are immersed in the infinity of space: the names of five planets in our solar system are projected onto mirrored spheres using light stencils, torn apart by rotation and reflection, losing their clear assignment in the darkness of the room and forming their very own galaxy with their reflections. Viewers are overcome by the sensual feeling of floating in another sphere that is nevertheless intangible. What emerges is a distance to everything earthly, to one’s own self and to the reality of being on planet Earth. For the duration of the viewing of Mischa Kuball’s “Five Planets”, you are carried away into a distant cosmos, created by the superimposition of luminous parts of Mars, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury. They glide through space in gentle motion and lend our idea of infinity a touch of accessibility. <\/p>\n\n

With “Five Planets”, Mischa Kuball attempts to make the incomprehensible and incomprehensible of our universe tangible. At the same time, he addresses the development of mankind into an explorer of the universe. In the course of his evolution, especially since the beginning of the Enlightenment, man has strived to know what is “up there” – first by observing with a telescope, later by actually traveling through space. Light can therefore also be understood as a symbol of the enlightened thinking that has always driven mankind. <\/p>\n\n

Mischa Kuball<\/strong>, conceptual artist, has been working in public and institutional spaces since 1977. He uses the medium of light to explore architectural spaces as well as social and political discourses and reflects on a variety of aspects ranging from socio-cultural structures to architectural interventions, whose monumentality and architectural-historical context he emphasizes or reinterprets. In politically motivated participatory projects, public and private space merge into an indistinguishable whole and offer a platform for communication between audience, artist, work and public space. Mischa Kuball has been Professor of Art in Public Space at the Academy of Media Arts, Cologne, since 2007 and was Professor of Media Art at the Academy of Art and Design\/ZKM, Karlsruhe, from 2006 to 2008. He has been a member of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences, Humanities and the Arts, D\u00fcsseldorf, since 2015. In 2016, he was awarded the German Lighting Prize. <\/p>\n\n
