The kunsthalle’s glass façade has been transformed into a projection surface on which winter-related video installations by five artists will be displayed. The video exhibition presents nostalgic childhood memories, anti-utopian storms in miniature format, as well as the human body’s ungainliness on ice and vast expanses of snow. The projection will be visible daily from sundown to sunrise.
