Offenbach am Main

Living near the Main river allows for ever-changing views from my window.

light art in Frankfurt, Offenbach

Permanent installation by Wiebke Grösch and Frank Metzger from 2008 in tribute to a former Offenbach movie theater named "Universum". The location of this piece is rather odd: it proclaims its galactic title in the midst of a deserted industrial harbor.

Animated light installation ontop of the structure of an old coal crane. Temporary installation for Luminale 2010 by Reinhard Dienes, Sebastian Herkner, Peter Eckart.

Typographic railing for the Lili temple in Offenbach, designed by Fabian Thiele and Markus Bernatzky. The texts written by J. W. v. Goethe are telling about his love for Lili, whom he met in this place. The illumination from the inside appears in waves.

I especially enjoy the typographic dimension of the object. No wonder - it's just a few footsteps away from Klingspor-Museum, museum for bookarts and typedesign. The letters are presumably lasercut from huge starfoam sheets. I'm afraid, it's not a permanent installation.

The piece Here/Now was done by Valerie Sietzy using reflecting batches that she turned into something like a pixel image on the columns of a highway bridge. Passing through here at night on your bike, the dark and scary concrete structure gains transcendental meaning through this work. I really like it because it's simple and beautiful.

Frankfurt's banks seen from across the river at night. In the front you see the arches of an illuminated railroad bridge.

street art in Frankfurt

I found these pieces in various spots in Frankfurt. I really like the "early bird" relief on the bridge column. It was positioned rather high, so most people don't notice it. I have no idea, what material was used or how he made it..



toll ffm is bringing art to the street - thus promoting street art in a way. It is the smallest gallery in Frankfurt. A huge flower bucket made from concrete was used for this matter. At the moment, the exhibitions features drawings.

I heart Vera poster in Frankfurt Sachsenhausen.
