Artist: Betty Mü, Anzing (Germany)
Betty Mü is a German designer and visual artist specialising in video and projection art as well as immersive spatial installations. Born and raised in Munich, she moved to New York in 1995, where she worked, among other things, as an art director. After six years, she returned to Munich to further develop her experience as a live visualist and video artist. In addition to her independent work, she frequently realises projects for renowned clients such as the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the Waterkant Festival in Kiel or the Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig. Among her largest works to date is the Munich light installation “Das Kunstareal verbindet”, with which she sent a signal for the arts in times of Covid-19 in the winter of 2021.

Local cooperation partners:
In June, a multi-day workshop took place, during which the artist, together with students from Leipzig, explored, among other things, the following questions: What challenges do our societies face today? Does deglobalisation mean risk or opportunity? What is the relationship between the individual and the collective? Why do individuals often choose not to get involved? Are people afraid to stand out from the crowd? What can be done about it? What still connects our society today? The results of the workshop were incorporated into the overall concept and can be heard as audio statements in the kaleidoscope.
