As part of the activities as a UNESCO City of Media Arts, various works by local artists from the field of media and light art will be on display in the Passagehof Reallabor for four weeks from June 2, 2022. The works reflect the diverse possibilities and significance of media art in our city and form the starting point for a dialog between artists and citizens.
Get to know local artists and their works
Media artworks in the public space make it a new experience and transform it into a place of city culture and urban art. The works exhibited in the Passagehof include: Light Signs by Betty Rieckmann, Seriosity by Benjamin Breitkopf & Kilian Kretschmer/ato and Posteden by Gerardo Nolasco-Rózsás.
