SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE 2021

BBBank Young Talent Award presented for the first time

For the first time, the ZKM - Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, the KME Karlsruhe Marketing and Event GmbH and the UNESCO City of Media Arts Karlsruhe, with the support of BBBank, announced and awarded the international »BBBank Newcomer Award in Projection Mapping«. From more than 60 applications, a jury of experts chose the show »Karlskompensator« by Genelabo and his team from Crushed Eyes Media as the winner.

With the financial support, the winners can now produce their contribution for the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE Karlsruhe 2021. The »Karlskompensator« takes viewers on a fantastic journey through the history of the city of Karlsruhe. It separates the different eras and at the same time functions as a connecting element of the show. Partially, individual components of the Karlskompensator will appear, dial new dates and transfer us to the next epoch. Historical, ethical and technological milestones of the city of Karlsruhe will come to life on the castle facade – Karlsruhe Palace will become a time machine.

BBBank is sponsoring the joint project as part of the anniversary of the 100th anniversary of the bank, which was founded and is headquartered in Karlsruhe.

Procedure

The shows will be seen both at the castle itself and digitally. On-site attendance will be heavily dependent on the applicable incidence rate and the corresponding regulations. Therefore, the Schlosslichtspiele Karlsruhe 2021 will probably not yet take place in the usual form but along alternative concepts. For example, lingering in front of the castle, with seating and stands, is currently not planned. For this reason, there will be a reduced number of shows per evening, which will, however, be repeated several times.
