Leona Friedrichs und Ardalan Mirhadi, Essen, Germany

Leona Friedrichs and Ardalan Mirhadi bring discarded and leftover materials back to life in their studios. For example, craftswoman Leona Friedrichs combines brass scraps in a square frame to create an open composition. When light hits the metallic surfaces, they cast complex and changing shadows and reflections that redesign the space. Ardalan Mirhadi creates a large-scale sculpture from metal and wood, among other materials. Through the use of light and digital projection, the artist and designer transports the sculpture into a new dimension. Its surface is transformed into a living canvas on which digital patterns, colours and movements appear.

Playing time: from dusk till 10 pm | Fridays and Saturdays until 11:00 pm
