The Rapunzel legend is reimagined for the Festival of Light: A glowing fairytale tower rises into the sky, with Rapunzel’s silhouette visible through its windows. Her golden hair spirals downward, brought to life by playful animals and blooming flowers. But dark thorns begin to rise – the sorceress intervenes. A prince fights his way through the thorns, is blinded, but Rapunzel’s tears bring healing and transform darkness into light. The tower melts away, love triumphs. In this light installation, Illuminos impressively combine magic, fairy tales, and Germanic myths with modern technology.

Inner Garden is a deeply personal light journey that reflects the search for self amid imbalance, exhaustion, and doubt. Like a garden pushing through cracks, each scene transforms the Berlin TV Tower into a vertical landscape of emergence. Through expression and persistence, a luminous inner world takes shape — revealing healing, clarity, and a rediscovered sense of identity.

Archiome envisions architecture as a living system that grows and adapts like a biological organism. This artwork translates that idea into a futuristic, immersive experience where organic forms and technology merge, creating evolving structures that respond to their surroundings. Drawing inspiration from nature’s ability to adapt and change, Archiome explores the future possibility where the boundaries between architecture and the natural world dissolve. An original soundscape, crafted specifically for this piece, shapes its emotional tone, capturing the subtle rhythm of a living organism. Through its fluid forms and immersive sounds, Archiome invites viewers to reconside buildings as active, living entities continuously adapting and interacting with those who inhabit them.

„The Tale of Balance“ is a modern fairy tale that weaves together two central themes: environmental destruction and mental health. Both are symptoms of a deeper alienation – our lost connection to nature. Everything in nature is interconnected – biologically, energetically, emotionally. So why do we believe ourselves to be exempt? The story is about rediscovering this connection, which is essential not only for ecological balance but also for our inner equilibrium. Inspired by scientific concepts such as quantum entanglement or the mycorrhizal symbiosis between trees and fungi, The Tale of Balance serves as a reminder that we are part of a vast network – not its owners.

“Wonderland” transforms Berlin’s television tower into a moving fantasy world. It all starts with a moment of chance – a glass of brush water tips over and sets off a surreal chain reaction. Colors run, lines blur, drawings begin to take on a life of their own. The artist herself takes center stage: she breaks through the boundary between drawing and reality, immerses herself in her own images, encounters them, wrestles with them – and allows them to inspire and enrich her, carrying her away to distant worlds. A minor mishap gives rise to a dream world in which art, emotion, and imagination intertwine. is visual journey—realized in stop-motion technology— invites viewers to pause and dream. “Wonderland” is a reflection on the creative accident, the power of imagination, and the ability of images to give rise to entire worlds – projected directly onto one of Berlin’s most iconic landmarks.
