Kaum ein Ort in Deutschland ist geeigneter für Kunst-Projektionen als das Rheintal zwischen Koblenz und Rüdesheim. Die Nacht ist stockdunkel und sternenklar wie nirgends sonst. Ideale Bedingungen für Medienkunst, Schattentheater und Projektionen. Schlösser, Burgen, Gewölbekeller, ungenutzte Gebäude und Ruinen schaffen ein romantisches Ambiente, das viel erzählt über das Auf und Ab in Deutschlands Geschichte. Am Wochenende rund um den Tag der Deutschen Einheit wollen wir eine rheinpartie machen und in eine verwunschene Landschaft im Herzen Europas hineinschauen und eintauchen. Seien Sie mit von der Partie...

On the week-end around the Day of the German Unit we want to do rheinpartie and look on an execrated scenery in the heart of Europe. Be invited to this excursion...

The Day of the German Reunification on October 3rd is ideally suitable as a date to explain the history of this landscape with the newest media and to interest new and young visitors in the Rhine Valley.
