Videomapping and Light Art Event "Freiheitsleuchten"

The City of Mühlhausen invites you to creatively reinterpret its historic old town through light art, projections, and videomapping — as part of the 2025 commemorative program "freiheyt 1525 – 500 Years of the Peasants’ War."

The light art event "Freiheitsleuchten" will take place during October 17–18, 2025, transforming six locations — including churches, squares, and alleys — into artistic installations. We are seeking contemporary visual works that engage with themes of freedom, resistance, social transformation, and memory.

LOVE.exe

——— THEMES ———

From platonic to romantic to robotic, LOVE.exe celebrates and interrogates all expressions of love, particularly as transformed by technology. We exchange love via wires and waves, creating new ways to connect and, inevitably, new vulnerabilities. The internet has unlocked authentic communities built on shared experiences and interpersonal discovery unlimited by location and demographics. However, when everything and everyone is available online and friends stay in touch via Instagram likes, the line between truly knowing someone versus just the concept of them blurs.

Guest Room: Jo. Trujillo Argüelles & María Santoyo

Guest Room aims to inspire collaboration and creative exchange. In this edition, Jo. Trujillo Argüelles, former Director of the Centro de la Imagen, partners with María Santoyo, director of PHotoESPAÑA.

Together, they introduce the theme for your submissions:

"What (Dis)Appears"

"What do you overlook when you look?
And what do we miss together?
Why does it remain unseen?"

As in the darkroom, between developer and fixer, photography is a space for manifesting the latent and fixing imaginaries and narratives. We propose this edition of Guest Room as a field of visibility that reveals something previously unseen or unconscious – an oversight, whether personal or social – or that allows what was latent or hidden to emerge.
