The Leipzig artist Maix Mayer documented the Monday Demonstrations in Leipzig of 1989 from the former pedestrian bridge Blaues Wunder. With the help of his augmented reality app Blaues WundAR, he virtually brought the bridge, which was demolished in 2004, back to life for the Leipzig Festival of Lights.
Blaues WundAR was on display as part of the Leipzig Festival of Lights XXL beyond the 9ᵗʰ of October 2024.
Maix Mayer (born in Leipzig) lives and works as a media and conceptual artist in Leipzig. In his projects, Maix Mayer moves between photography, film and installation. In doing so, he examines various narrative models of fiction and reality. As a matrix that is constantly recreated, the interplay of media/art and architecture is used.
After receiving his diploma in fine arts from the HGB Leipzig, he completed his doctorate at the University of Poznan in the field of media art. His artistic work includes a wide range of international exhibitions, awards and scholarships.
