In the organizer's words:

At the center of LICHTAUS LICHTAN are concepts of the in-between, of being on the move and of transfer spaces: phases and places of transition, spaces that are not conceived as final destinations, but as intermediate stations and episodes of waiting, reflection and change. States between corporeality and incorporeality, this world and the hereafter, reality and fiction, in which the absent is as threatening as it is weightlessly present, flow as motifs into all works. Light metaphorically guides the formal, poetic and humorous search for localization and knowledge.

The practice of the participating artists combines a reflection on the present - characterized by social uncertainty, existential fragility and finiteness - with often humorous reflections on the positioning of their own work in the seemingly timeless history of art. The title quotes a sketch by the artist Norbert Schwontkowski, who died in 2013.

With works by Vitória Cribb, Doku, Lukas Heerich, Leiko Ikemura, Ju Young Kim, Isa Melsheimer, Kristina Nagel, Norbert Schwontkowski, Minh Lan Tran, Nicole Wermers, Guan Xiao, Wendi Yan.

At the heart of 'Lightsoff Lightson' are concepts of the in-between, of being on the move and of transfer spaces: phases and places of transition, spaces that are not conceived as final destinations, but as intermediate stations and episodes of waiting, reflection and change. States between corporeality and incorporeality, this world and the beyond, reality and fiction, in which the absent is present both threateningly and weightlessly, flow as motifs into all works. Light metaphorically guides the formal and poetic search for location and insight.
