WHAT IS IMMERSIVE ART?

Immersive art encompasses a variety of artistic and curatorial concepts. Since the 1950s, this art form has aimed to engage viewers more deeply. Immersive art is an experiment in which artists blur the traditional boundaries between art forms such as photography, film, installation, and media technologies to create new and innovative forms of expression.

ART AND POLITICS IN A NEW LIGHT

The installations powerfully demonstrate art's ability to explore complex social and political issues in a provocative and accessible way.

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS

The project consists of seven installations, animated 3D videos, and photographic works that reinterpret the biblical Seven Deadly Sins.

ARTIST

"In my photographic works, it’s always about examining the impact of digitalization and social media on our viewing habits. It’s also about confronting viewers with their own experiences, emotions, and desires."

JOHN RUSKIN WINE BAR
8 DAYS OF WINE & FUN

For a long time, vineyards covered the slopes of the Alte Schlachthof. Now, a small group of winemakers is bringing wine back to the district. At the *John Ruskin Wine Bar* in the Alte Schlachthof Pforzheim—named after John Ruskin, the great English social reformer and pioneer of sustainable architecture—the team around Robert Eikmeyer, Christof Grosse, Werner Horsch, and James Sutherland served their own Pinot Noir, Weißherbst, and Grappa daily at the *blue hour*. *"If you examine it closely, a stone becomes a mountain in miniature form,"* Ruskin once wrote. *"Those who take a deep look into their glass and savor the wine to the last drop will see the world with different eyes,"* we say. Also on the program: guided tours of the Alte Schlachthof, music, literature, and much more.
