From October 24, 2025, Berlin will be enriched by an extraordinary exhibition experience: the immersive exhibition "ORIGINS - Life's Epic Journey" will celebrate its capital city premiere in the Reinbeckhallen. Following the great success in Leipzig with over 75,000 visitors, Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig is now bringing the spectacular Gesamtkunstwerk to Berlin - and transforming the impressive industrial ambience of the Reinbeckhallen into a time machine that takes us on the trail of life itself.

Merging art, science and technology

What can you expect from ORIGINS? Over 14 internationally renowned digital artists - under the artistic direction of Markos R. Kay - have created a visual and emotional adventure that reinterprets the origin of life. Using state-of-the-art technologies such as 3D design, artificial intelligence, macroscopic photography and generative art, a multimedia Gesamtkunstwerk is created in which science, art and technology merge in a fascinating way.

Particularly spectacular: the virtual reality experience "FIRST LIFE" by Alchemy Immersive, in which none other than Sir David Attenborough accompanies visitors on an expedition into the past - 3.5 billion years back to the origins of life, visualized using state-of-the-art CGI and palaeontological research.
