Ein Projekt von WAVA, initiiert vom Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain im Rahmen von World Design Capital 2026 mit dem Main-Taunus-Kreis und den Kommunen Bad Soden, Eppstein, Flörsheim, Hattersheim, Hochheim, Hofheim und Kelkheim.

The collected images of fragile and dilapidated structures from the city form digital collages in which derelict environments transform into structures of the future. The artists explore how memory can be preserved, dissolved, and reimagined in public spaces—and how the past, present, and future intertwine. These ideas resonate with the ruins and history of the moated castle and open up transhistorical perspectives on the surroundings of Hofheim’s city center.

“Here, Where We Are – Virtual Art Around the Corner” is a project by the WAVA Collective, initiated by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain as part of World Design Capital 2026. In seven municipalities of the Main-Taunus district—Bad Soden, Eppstein, Flörsheim, Hattersheim, Hochheim, Hofheim, and Kelkheim—eight site-specific AR installations by eleven international artists expand the public space. Through the free WAVA app, available for iOS and Android, familiar places are made accessible as artistic sites around the clock: historical references come to light, and new narratives emerge. The project examines public space in the hybrid age and explores how digital interventions expand our perception of places.

Next to the Hofheim moated castle, François Pisapia and Pauli Scharlach blend fragmented 3D scans of public squares, monuments, and wall remnants into dreamlike urban landscapes poised between decay and reconstruction.
