Idea/ Motivation

• SEARCH and RESCUE is a symbolic rededication of public spaces. The heroes of our time who have dedicated themselves to humanity, Sea-Eye founder Michael Buschheuer (MICHAEL BUSCHHEUER BRÜCKE), but also the victims Alan and Ghalib Kurdi (ALAN & GHALIB KURDI HAFEN), who stand for the many we were unable to save, come into focus.

Idea/ Motivation

• Over 2850 km, the Danube presents itself in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and flow speeds. From insignificant to dramatic, it alternates between slow meanders and fast-flowing gestures. The mobile sculpture of the river is constantly changing - depending on the day, weather and season. In addition, the landscapes and people with different stories.

Idea/ Motivation

• Storm Door is a four-panel revolving door based on the shape of a cross. The cross is the basic form used in the construction of many cities, which Terziev thus takes up in his work. With this work, Terziev offers people new perspectives on themselves and the history of Regensburg. Viewers are reflected in the revolving doors and recognize evidence of their own history behind them - historic buildings and historic pavement. Moving the revolving door creates a new form of orientation and allows aspects of history and the present to merge.

Idea/ Motivation

• Serbian artist Jelena Gajinovic draws parallels between the imagery of medieval Minne and the heart code from smartphone chats. The woodcut Lady Venus and the Lover, made in 1495 by Master Caspar, inspired her to translate the medieval symbols into the present day. Beyond the symbolism of love, Gajinovic's work on rotating steals shows what an important role images have played and continue to play in communication.

Idea/ Motivation

• The interplay between nature and man is the basis for Dimitar Solakov's installation on the banks of the Danube in the immediate vicinity of the Stone Bridge in Regensburg. Using the example of the sturgeon, he addresses a historical-ecological topic and visualizes the connection between floods, changes in the ecosystem and the occurrence of the sturgeon species Glattdick. Due to overfishing and low water levels, this fish species is almost non-existent on the Upper Danube. Solakov's neon installation shows the sturgeon on historical flood lines.

Idea/ Motivation

• The right of every woman to control her own body is a universal human right. Temporary installation on the 13th span of the Stone Bridge. This is where the “water punishments” took place until around 1600. Women were usually sentenced to death by drowning. Cibulka thus links the medieval practice of capital punishment with life bars that line the banks of the Danube today - two diametrically opposed perspectives on life. In her 19-metre-long sculpture, she transforms the ring at the end of the pole into a coat hanger - a symbol of a dangerous abortion when pregnant women are forced into illegitimacy. Cibulka's work is to be interpreted in the context of current setbacks for women's rights - such as the new ban on abortion in the USA.

• CINEMA SOMNIUM presents the trailer for a new science fiction film soon to be released in cinemas. The movie is inspired by Johannes Kepler's science fiction novel Somnium (The Dream) and stars the three SOMNIUM K satellites launched from different locations in Regensburg into the orbits of Haumea, Kepler 16b and the hypothetical Exomoon. Their task is to collect unprecedented footage for the new film. The works CINEMA SOMNIUM and SATELLITE SOMNIUM explore the fascination of unknown space and the longing for never-before-seen images - a constant in our human society from prehistoric times to the present day. From myths and magic to stories, movies and science, our world is constantly producing dreams of another reality.

• Compositions of Flow represents a connection between artistic representation and scientific research. In this conceptual work, Maleković, with academic support from Sophia Freidhoff, explores the challenges of the recent waves of migration in the Danube region. By looking at individual stories and insights as well as subjective perceptions of the new life outside their homeland, they convey the topic of “migration” from different perspectives. Art action on the Steinerne Brücke in Regensburg.

Idea/ Motivation

• During his stay in Regensburg, Alexandru Raevschi explored the question of how history and the present relate to each other in the World Heritage city and what significance the historical heritage actually has for Regensburg residents today. He literally holds up a mirror to the city: Mirrored cuboids on the north-east corner of the Roman legionary camp wall give passers-by the chance to connect history and the present, to perceive and experience themselves as part of it. Anyone walking past the installation and looking at it could see themselves, as well as the newly built Museum of Bavarian History behind them and the original ashlars of the Roman wall in front of them. History thus appears as a construct, composed of different parts and as the result of one's own perspective and lifeworld.

Idea/ Motivation

• The monopteros is an ideal circular form in architecture and encounters a contradiction in Kepler's work, as the astronomer Kepler discovered the elliptical orbits of the planets. The ellipse “Parabelle” is the central element here and could be described as a correction or commentary on the round monument. For the artist, the ellipse is a circle that has picked up speed. It is a metaphor for thinking in motion, for rethinking. It is not just about planetary orbits, but also about a view of the world that has been turned on its head. Kepler is a good example of this.

Location

• Keplerdenkmal, 93047 Regensburg

Idea/ Motivation

• The design of a new interpretation of the Black Tower on the north side of the “Steinerne Brücke”, which no longer exists. The tower was part of Regensburg's border fortifications and customs station and was demolished in 1810 after being shelled by Napoleonic and Austrian troops. In 2002, the foundation walls of the building were discovered and its exact position, length and width were determined. Klára Orosz worked with the original dimensions of the black tower, which was 20 meters high. Unfortunately, this design could not be realized.
