The Slow Looking session in the exhibition Rey Akdogan. Carousels offers participants a space to pause and consciously focus on viewing a selected artwork. Guided by art therapists Naira Bloss and Ulla Utasch, participants undertake a short relaxation exercise in the exhibition space, find their calm, and take time to engage with the art. In a group discussion, participants are invited to share their perceptions, associations and inner images. Afterwards, inspired by the exhibition visit, there is an opportunity to create their own artwork in the studio*.

Max. number of participants: 15 people
Led by: Naira Bloss, Ulla Utasch

As part of the accompanying program for Rey Akdogan’s exhibition Carousels, Haus am Waldsee invites you to a film screening on 20 May 2026 at 7 pm, with a selection assembled by the artist.

The program includes experimental short films by Germaine Dulac, Maya Deren, and Michael Snow, as well as Jean-Luc Godard’s science-fiction film Alphaville (1965).

Across these films, light operates as an aesthetic, structural, and rhythmic principle that shifts the perception of the everyday: objects are released from their utilitarian function, familiar relationships between light and shadow are inverted, and variations of brightness and movement give rise to forms that resist any fixed definition.

In Godard’s Alphaville, this condenses into urban space: artificial light and stark contrasts fragment the nocturnal city into geometric patterns, conjuring an atmosphere in which technological control, alienation, and emotional distance resonate.

7 pm – short films by Germaine Dulac, Maya Deren, and Michael Snow 
7.30 pm – Jean-Luc Godard, Alphaville (1965), 99 min.

Admission: 9 Euro / 6 Euro (reduced). The ticket includes admission to the exhibition, which is open until 7 pm.
The café is open until 8 pm.

Biliana Voutchkova – Violin, Voice

A collage programme consisting of selected slow movements from the Telemann solo violin Fantasien and original New Ghost Phantasies by Voutchkova. 

The original New Fantasies for two violins were composed by Biliana Voutchkova and Clara Levy, commissioned and premiered at DARA String Festival 2024. They are based on and inspired by Georg Philipp Telemann’s Fantasien for solo violin, containing partly composed, partly improvised music that develops from a selection of slow movements from the original phantasies.

The process of creating this work went through a research phase of mutual and personal observation, understanding, and defining the violinists’ common classical music background. It traced their early classical music training, the changes and developments over the years that have led to their current artistic identities. The New Fantasies emerged through their personal connection to Telemann’s phantasies, which each had been playing for over 20 years.

For this concert, Biliana Voutchkova developed a new version of the work, New Ghost Phantasies for solo violin and fixed media. She revisits and transforms the material of New Fantasies, translating the shared dialogue into a solo constellation with ghostly pre-recorded layers and spectral presences.

Duration: 55 minutes (without intermission)

Venue: Sculpture Park, in case of rain in the Studio*

The café will be open till 10 pm.

Wo ich wohne reflects on the history of the Haus am Waldsee through its setting, the Villa Knobloch, built in 1922 for the Jewish textile manufacturer Herrmann Knobloch, where mere weeks after the end of the Second World War, the institution found its beginnings. The language of the building, in which both victims and perpetrators of National Socialism lived, is understood not only as a framework, but as a material in its own right – against, with, and through the works in the exhibition disclose ties between the private and the political. The violent events and social struggles of the past century echo in its architecture, its grounds, its location and its agency. They recount an attempt at bourgeois demarcation, clinging to an alleged normality even as the world outside the windows is in turmoil. 


The international group exhibition unfolds alongside a spatial intervention by artist Richard Venlet and brings together historical and new works by Nigin Beck, Rhea Dillon, Robert Haas, Hannah Höch, Alexandre Khondji, Atiéna R. Kilfa, Henry Koerner, Ayumi Paul, Yoora Park, Reynold Reynolds & Patrick Jolley, Oskar Schlemmer, Renée Sintenis, Ian Waelder and Frau von Zinowiew.
