During the media-art and lightfestival LUNA (Leeuwarden Urban Night Adventure) the garden of the Fryske Akademy is filled with the installation KONTAKT. KONTAKT is a co-production of LUNA and Leeuwarden Unesco City of Literature.
KONTAKT was developed specifically for this place, both in form and content. What makes it special is the collaboration of the German light and projection artists Detlef Hartung and Georg Trenz with the Frisian author and architect Grytsje Schaaf, who developed the word material for KONTAKT.
Contact restrictions, up to and including a genuine ban on contact, were among the most important measures at the beginning of the Corona crisis. These regulations also most noticeably changed social and societal conditions. Using the example of projected words in Frisian and Dutch on architecture and its visitors, the work deals with the perception-altering significance of contact.
Light, space, architecture, nature, human, and language come into contact with each other, in form and content, and change themselves and their surroundings.
LUNA is organized by Stichting Media Art Friesland.
