Join Naara Bahler and the sound artist Eric Rüeger for a meditative event exploring Bahler’s reflection on the question “Have we forgotten how to contemplate Mother-Earth?”. Thanks to a live soundtrack and an immersive atmosphere in the exhibition space, this unique collaboration invites the visitors to stop, to think and to engage in the dialogue between visual arts and sound. With a live broadcast from Lumpen Station.

A closing performance by the artist Virginie Otth on her art installation Plier les horizons, which was made for the festival. She uses the horizon line of a selection of photographs that she has taken, which are then printed on cardboard, as a means to challenge our usual spatial and artistic points of reference. A visual experience that, between mental and physical images, sets us in motion.
