Genius Loci Weimar and the Buchenwald Memorial invite you to the PRE-OPENING OF THE 11th GENIUS LOCI WEIMAR FESTIVAL FOR VIDEOMAPPING AND MEDIA ARCHITECTURE
The 11th edition of the Genius Loci Weimar Festival for Videomapping and Media Architecture will take place for the first time in Buchenwald from 30 August to 1 September 2024:
International groups of artists will use their audio, light and video installations to illuminate the architecture and elements of the memorial, which was erected in 1958 as a national monument of the GDR near the mass graves of the Buchenwald concentration camp on the southern slope of the Ettersberg. One of the tasks of the competition was to allow the fates and events that the memorial does not commemorate to appear in the projections. The mass graves themselves and the group of figures by Fritz Cremer were excluded from the competition.
On the weekend of the festival, state elections will be held in Thuringia and Saxony. Not only there, but also in Germany and worldwide, shrill populism and misanthropic extremism are on the rise. The Buchenwald Memorial, Genius Loci, the City of Weimar and the Free State of Thuringia are not entirely unaffected by these social and political events and are sending out a clear message from this historic site that the past must not be forgotten for the sake of a better future.

We cordially invite you to the press preview on 29 August 2024 at 20:00 in the conference house (Tagungshaus) at the Memorial. There will be an opportunity to preview the projections, including a guided tour, and get an insight into the festival before the official opening. Please register at presse@genius-loci-weimar.org.
Artists from all over the world were invited to take part in the competition, which carries a prize of 30.000 euros. More than 100 works from 22 countries were submitted under the theme "It feels like 5 to 33". The three competition venues are the Stelenweg, the Straße der Nationen and the Glockenturm.
The Italian group mammasONica/IT/Catania will be staging their work "Ghostpoets" on the Stelenweg. There are seven stelae in all, symbolising the seven-year history of Buchenwald. Each projection will highlight a different aspect of the life and suffering of the inmates - and also show what the stelae do not say.

Emptiness = Inspiration? Immerse yourself into silence.
Sound. Images. Nothing.
With this installation we invite our visitors to immerse into an extraordinary auditory and visual journey. Utilizing state-of-the-art 3D binaural microphones and headphones, we seamlessly weave a tapestry of experiences through ethereal soundscape and mesmerizing visuals crafted by the artists. From intimate storytelling and guided meditations to whispered musings and mesmerizing voice effects. With this unique nature inspired composition and repetitive alternation of auditory-visual symphonies of the senses and pure silence, we invite visitors to embark on a journey of lucid dreaming. A state of hypnosis and deep relaxation that engages the senses and encourages deep introspection in a truly immersive and intimate environment.

Leere = Inspiration? Eintauchen in die Stille. Klang. Bilder. Nichts.
Diese Kunstinstallation ist eine Immersion zwischen Sound- & Visual Art und meditativer Praxis.
Erlebe eine außergewöhnliche auditive und visuelle Reise. Mit modernsten binauralen 3D-Mikrofonen und Kopfhörern weben wir einen Teppich von Erfahrungen durch ätherische Klanglandschaften und hypnotisierende Visualisierungen, die von den Künstlern geschaffen wurden. Von intimen Erzählungen und geführten Meditationen bis hin zu geflüsterten Träumereien und hypnotisierenden Stimmeffekten. Mit dieser naturinspirierten Komposition und dem repetativen Wechsel von auditiv visuellen Symphonien der Sinne und purer Stille, laden wir die Besucher ein, sich auf eine Reise des luziden Träumens zu begeben. Einen Zustand der Hypnose und der tiefen Entspannung zu erleben, der die Sinne anspricht und eine tiefe Introspektion in einer wahrhaft eindringlichen und intimen Umgebung fördert.
