Found in honeycombs as well as in human architecture, the hexagon stands for order and collective strength.<\/p>\n<p>Hexagonal cells are projected onto drifting fog, forming a structure in which organic and digital forms merge. The work draws a parallel between bees and humans, both living in interdependent systems, and invites visitors to reflect on community, responsibility and connection.<\/p>\n<p>Concept | Art direction: Jan Raphael Knieza<br \/>Production: Franziska Knieza<br \/>3D animation: Matthias Pf\u00e4ffli<br \/>Category: Performance<br \/>Since: 2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_full-67b2604938d8634ad34a5f1099d3351c\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_full-67b2604938d8634ad34a5f1099d3351c{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-67b2604938d8634ad34a5f1099d3351c av_one_full  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_heading-e9288d9a85a444cf67338d67c2686961\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-e9288d9a85a444cf67338d67c2686961{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-e9288d9a85a444cf67338d67c2686961 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-e9288d9a85a444cf67338d67c2686961 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-e9288d9a85a444cf67338d67c2686961 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-5  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Exhibitions<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-40ec97853a9ede4a12c8e1761abc7ed6 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><ul>\n<li><strong>2026<\/strong> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/artowl.ch\/en\/portfolio-item\/lichtfestival-leimental-trafohalle\/\">Leimental Light Festival, Trafohalle Bottmingen (CH)<\/a> \u2013 premiere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11104,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[407,403],"class_list":["post-10986","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_entries-performance-2026-en","portfolio_entries-portfolio-2026-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
