LichtStrauss

Light and the arts have the power to reveal connections between the past and the future. Victoria Coeln merges both media in her unique language, situated at the intersection of the visible and the invisible. In LichtStrauss, she transforms Vienna’s Stadtpark into an intermedia world stage – a walk-in light artwork inspired by courageous women of Strauss’s operettas. The protagonists of this work of art are outstanding women of today who have chosen to appear in public in a very personal and characteristic way. Filmed in Coeln's studio and transformed into virtual personas they inhabit individually created light habitats, called chromotopes. Join us for fascinating intermedia performances and a treasure hunt that raises questions about women's political history and visibility in the public sphere.
