A Walk Through Luminous Images

Along the railway line 308/318, luminous tents appear, in which colorful shadow scenes meet the canvas of the tent walls. The work takes motifs from camping sites, Fidena, community gardens, and planetariums, transforming everyday places into poetic image spaces. Objects become carriers of memory, movement, and atmosphere. ([nrw-kultur.de](https://www.nrw-kultur.de/kalender/within/2026-09-30))

Between Puppet Theater and Light Art

Fidena has stood for internationally oriented puppet theater since 1958 and for an art form that thinks of puppet, object, material, and shadow theater together. The project WITHIN fits into this tradition of aesthetic research: Perception is not only observed but experienced spatially. The duo scheinzeitmenschen is reportedly working on a light installation and a shadow play that transforms sound, movement, and image into an open course.

An Exhibition that Reads the Urban Space Anew

The connection between public space and intimate work observation is particularly appealing. Luminous tents, short audio pieces, and changing shadow scenes create an exhibition atmosphere that is both fragile and compelling. Those who understand art as cultural education and sensory experience will find an evening here that sharpens perception and makes the city readable with new eyes.

Conclusion: WITHIN combines light installation, shadow play, and urban exploration into an open art experience with quiet intensity. Anyone looking to rediscover Bochum as a cultural location should not miss this rare opportunity to experience the evening live at the Fidena Forum.
