Formed in 2016 as a loose cooperative of architects, artists, engineers, cultural workers and artisans, VOLNA is based in Karlsruhe, Germany. We have an extensive track record of successful collaborations with major museums, theaters, festivals, biennials, educational institutions, grassroots cultural initiatives, nightclubs, and corporate clients. Whether it's mechanical flowers under your feet or intricate environmentally sustainable art objects in the Alps, a dramaturgically designed immersive light forest for a choreographic performance or interactive light mirrors for a university bus stop, light set-ups for underground music venues or the entire architecture for a festival with 15,000 visitors, or even a virtual Kunsthalle with lifelike lighting effects, in all of our projects VOLNA creates unique and exciting artistic environments that integrate organically into each site with own unique context and specifics.
Does your space feel empty? Do you have a grand idea? An exhibition, club party or maybe an immersive performance you’ve been itching to put together? Or perhaps some entirely new format that doesn't even have a name or genre yet? We’ll help fill the void and illuminate your dream of a meaningful space! Toss your idea at us and we'll be happy to help develop it artistically, engineer it out and work with you to navigate from a raw idea to realization with our expertise in project management and art direction.
