This year's festival got featured installations across three different locations at the Buchenwald Memorial, showcasing works from the winners:
mammasONica - "Ghostpoets"
In the shadow of history, the stelae of the Buchenwald Memorial stand as silent witnesses to the inhumanity of the past and the resilience of the human spirit, which is the basic idea behind »mammasONica«´s projection. „Ghostpoets“, an immersive light and sound installation, transformed these memories into a vivid exploration of trauma and healing. By transforming the seven stelae of Buchenwald into portals of time, the installation lead visitors along a path from darkness to light, from despair to hope. Each stele symbolized a stage in the journey from trauma to healing, offering a space for reflection and collective renewal.
