Märchenbrüder at Marburg by Night
OMAi presented an audiovisual projection piece called "Märchenbrüder," a homage to the Brothers Grimm, during the Marburg by Night festival.
In December 2017, OMAi presented an audiovisual projection piece called “Märchenbrüder” in Marburg, Germany. The 10 minute animation was mapped onto the facade of the Erwin Piscator building, and shown at regular intervals during one night. It was commissioned as part of the event Marburg by Night, an urban illumination festival that attracts several tens of thousands each year since 2006.
“Märchenbrüder” is a homage to Marburg’s Romantic period. Its protagonists are the brothers Grimm, as well some of the famous poets of German Romanticism, who all met in the university town during a fruitful period in the early 19th century.
