Shadow Catcher

When the sun sets, life takes another form. Enveloped in a deep blue hue, a new soundscape is activated by chirping insects, iridescent wings, and faint whispers. Shadows and lights give way to fantastic creatures. This twilight, and the abstraction it brings, sets relations anew. Nature turns shimmering, diverse, and polyphonic.

Shadow Catcher unfolds as a night garden, an exploration field, a shared habitat, and collaborative ecosystem. Through subtle shifts in sound, touch, and light, the exhibition reveals creatures that are transformed as the night evolves. How you encounter them—alone or with others, in full color or as a soft blur—shapes their story. Experience your own journey through the garden, walk your own path, leave your trace, and see where your imagination takes you.

Artistic techniques and materials are taught in an interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary manner along the themes of the exhibition - light and shadow, shared habitat, insects and animals. There are several workshop formats to choose from, such as drawing and painting as well as visualising your own imaginations when working with light and shadow.
