Nevin Aladag makes luminous "Colour Floating" lamps out of coloured fishnets and assembles various instruments into a surreal sound body. For Baden-Baden, she is now developing a sound ensemble that fits perfectly into the Kurgarten.
For "art meets city", the Kurgarten in front of the Kurhaus, the green oasis in the heart of Baden-Baden, is transformed into an open-air art gallery.
