Drops fall at different rhythms, waves are created, light is refracted. This results in complex shapes, waves, colours and interference fringes that spread throughout the inner courtyard of Graz City Hall. The seemingly simple observation of these visual effects becomes an almost hypnotic exercise in perception for the audience. The calm, contemplative atmosphere invites complete immersion, letting go, and even a little bit of losing oneself.    <\/p>\n\n<p>location: <strong>Innenhof B\u00fcrger:innenamt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/Liquid-lens-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Alex-Koch-for-Klanglicht-2025_009-WEB-2-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12003\" src=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/Liquid-lens-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Alex-Koch-for-Klanglicht-2025_009-WEB-2-1680x1120.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12003\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/Liquid-lens-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Alex-Koch-for-Klanglicht-2025_023-WEB-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12005\" src=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/Liquid-lens-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Alex-Koch-for-Klanglicht-2025_023-WEB-1120x1680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12005\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Luke_Goodlife-for-Klanglicht-2025_-32-WEB-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12007\" src=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Luke_Goodlife-for-Klanglicht-2025_-32-WEB-1120x1680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12007\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Luke_Goodlife-for-Klanglicht-2025_-35-WEB-1-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12009\" src=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Luke_Goodlife-for-Klanglicht-2025_-35-WEB-1-1120x1680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12009\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi_CKANIZAJ-photography-for-Klanglicht-2025_233_26-WEB-1-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1120\" data-id=\"12013\" src=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi_CKANIZAJ-photography-for-Klanglicht-2025_233_26-WEB-1-1680x1120.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi_CKANIZAJ-photography-for-Klanglicht-2025_233_26-WEB-1-1680x1120.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi_CKANIZAJ-photography-for-Klanglicht-2025_233_26-WEB-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi_CKANIZAJ-photography-for-Klanglicht-2025_233_26-WEB-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi_CKANIZAJ-photography-for-Klanglicht-2025_233_26-WEB-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi_CKANIZAJ-photography-for-Klanglicht-2025_233_26-WEB-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Luke_Goodlife-for-Klanglicht-2025_-39-WEB-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12011\" src=\"https:\/\/tsgwebklanglicht.blob.core.windows.net\/static\/2025\/09\/LIQUID-LENSE-by-Alessandro-Lupi-&#xA9;-Luke_Goodlife-for-Klanglicht-2025_-39-WEB-1120x1680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12011\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p><strong>Biography:<\/strong><br\/>Alessandro Lupi was born in Genoa, Italy. He now lives and works in Berlin, Germany.<br\/>He studied at the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti in Genoa.<br\/>His work has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Avesta Museum in Sweden and the Kunsthaus Tacheles in Berlin, among others.\u2028In 2008, he created an installation for the Havana Biennial, which is now on permanent display at the National School of Fine Arts San Alejandro. In 2010, the City of Ljubljana commissioned him to create a sculpture to celebrate Ljubljana&#8217;s status as the UNESCO World Book Capital.<br\/>Lupi\u2019s work focuses on light and its fusion with colour, space, and time. Each piece appears to create its own world, focusing on the concept of &#8216;inversion&#8217;, offering the viewer an unexpected perspective. In his works, dichotomies such as exterior-interior, freedom-prison, and life-death are cancelled out by the contemporary perception of these two aspects, without favouring any perceptive or hierarchical prevalence.     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12006,"template":"","categories":[75],"class_list":["post-11544","installation","type-installation","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-installations-2025-en"],"acf":{"kunstlertitel":"Alessandro Lupi","kunstlerlink":"https:\/\/www.alessandrolupi.com\/","gmaps_positionslink":"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/CeX6QwqnnfWRQv9Z7"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/klanglicht.buehnen-graz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/installation\/11544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/klanglicht.buehnen-graz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/installation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/klanglicht.buehnen-graz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/installation"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klanglicht.buehnen-graz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/klanglicht.buehnen-graz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klanglicht.buehnen-graz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
