Lichtfest Krems Posters

Lichtfest is a light art festival that takes place every year in Krems, Austria. In 2023 I was given ten Citylight Spots to exhibit a series of posters for the festival.
The moths in the pictures represent the visitors attracted to the event, while the light symbolizes the festival itself. The overarching theme of the last festival was mobility, which is why a different form of transportation is hidden in each moth. Since I was given complete freedom by the organizers, I created the motifs in such a way that they function as a short animated loop. This animation was shown on a screen in the center of the old town.

A common symptom of COVID is the loss of one’s sense of smell. As I had to observe myself, it is very difficult to assign odors. Everything smells somehow the same.

The majority of Californians live in areas where there is no drinking water. Therefore, water has to be transported from the north of the country. Climate change is now shaking that system. This is one of the reasons for the many forest fires.
