Frederic Bahr develops sculptures as clear signs in space. This reflects the characteristic of sculptural design: his negative and hollow forms result from deformations or variations and provide a fundamental ‘basic lesson’ for the creation of sculptural design.

The objects from Junkyu Lee have smaller formats and show familiar everyday objects that everyone uses as a matter of course. Junkyu Lee breaks the familiar view by using clay as a material, which lends the everyday object an individuality. The moulding process creates a dialogue with the clay material - the result is a sharpened view of our everyday environment.

Robert Rickli visualises the complex relationship between man and nature with large-format hanging objects. Robert Rickli 's collage-like paintings are reminiscent of stage sets. With painterly elements in contrast to free pictorial surfaces, Rickli creates a tension between form and non-form, between power and powerlessness

Yunju Lee 's works show intensely coloured compositions that are reminiscent of landscape elements. The digital prints are characterised by bright colours reminiscent of crystals or glass windows. The colour and shape changes show permanent transformations that enable intense colour experiences and initiate strong dynamics.

Annika Hoffmann's paintings are characterised by an inexhaustible wealth of figures and objects that transport the viewer into a surreal world. Annika Hoffmann The paintings create an ambivalent overall picture between kitsch and horror. With humorous titles, Hoffmann creates an atmosphere between paradisiacal, fairytale-like and dystopian moments.

Till Bödeker presents a selection of his interdisciplinary work with photography, drawing and film on the subject of new technological developments. He uses the motif of the robot dog to explore the dangers and possibilities of artificial intelligence. His works question the boundaries between humans and the robots he has created and their relationship in the face of this ‘step into a new sphere’.
