Cumulus. Designed by @mendelheit and produced at @ciav_meisenthal Cumulus embodies the art of living as a daydreamer — head in the clouds, feet anchored to the world. Formed through breath, heat, and movement, the glass cloud reveals the dialogue between water and air, density and transparency, motion and stillness. Born from earth, shaped by fire, and carried by air, Cumulus becomes a quiet reflection on what the universe offers us — fleeting forms, natural balance, and beauty found in impermanence. #happyownerofacumulus

Dear 2026, please bring me boredom. Apparently, that’s where the good stuff happens … @voegelekultur

Here’s to a new year filled with fresh starts, small joys, big dreams, and moments that make you smile for no reason at all. Happy New Year!” ✨🥂

#cheers #happynewyear #2026

As 2025 comes to a close, may we let go of what dried us out and carry forward the lessons that kept us strong. Like the Rose of Jericho, we may have curled inward to survive—but with a new year comes new water, new light, and new beginnings. Wishing you a gentle unfolding and a hopeful, blooming 2026 🌿✨

Light pierces the shadows, a secret stage awakened 🌞🎭 the curtain rises, and the river whispers its hidden stories.

Life feels like a quiet dream. The river keeps moving, the chair stays still — teaching us that meaning isn’t found in holding on, but in witnessing the moment before it drifts away.

Whispers in the Forêt de la Wantzenau - a riverside woodland near Strasbourg, where golden light drifts through bare trees and rests softly on the river. In this quiet pause, silence glows and nature shines.

Between reed and water, the light begins to dance ✨ The sun whispers in golden glow.

Beneath the winter sun, low and oblique, the trees stretch their shadowed arms 🌑 Whispering to the world… summoning the slow rebirth of light ✨

Where fallen trees become river myths 🌿🌊

Ice crystals bloom like stars on a winter plant ❄️✨ A moment where earth meets the sky.

In Celtic legend, mistletoe was sacred — a symbol of protection, love, and life 🌙

Between timber frames and history… the old tanners’ houses tell the story of Petite France of yesteryear. 🌿🏡”

A dead end in life isn’t the end—look for the open windows …

Born in 1975, @pimaxart is a street artist and co-founder of the Toulouse Hardcore Sound System. Blending graffiti, stencils, and resin sculptures, he mixes street art with contemporary codes to deliver a bold critique of consumer society. Based in Paris, he reinterprets pop icons (Warhol, Goldorak) and brings to life Nourf Nourf, his urban dog inspired by Impressionism—a poetic, rebellious reflection of the artist himself. An uncompromising universe that leaves no one indifferent.

@dan23instagram is one of Strasbourg’s most iconic street artists, known for colourful murals and strong urban messages. Since turning to street art in 2013, he has filled the city with portraits inspired by music and meaningful encounters. His work blends positivity and reflection on humanity, nature, and society—now part of Strasbourg’s urban DNA.

Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain — Strasbourg (MAMCS). A striking metal & glass masterpiece by architect Adrien Fainsilber, this modern art museum sits on the Ill River at the edge of Petite France. Opened in 1998, it houses an impressive collection from the late 19th century to today. Look up — a 4 m high horse sculpture “Hortus conclusus” by Italian artist Mimmo Paladino stands proudly on the roof, adding a bold artistic touch to the building’s architecture and skyline.

On cold winter days, the harvest carries its own quiet warmth: lychees from La Réunion, mandarines from Corsica, oranges from Sicily—sun-kissed fruits that remember the earth’s heat, offering comfort to the hands, the heart, and the soul as winter draws the world inward. #goodmorning #26122025

#unpetitschmoutz💋destrasbourg

The last 12 months, like a flame — sometimes steady, sometimes wild. As the year ends, we dim the lights, slow down, and take a few days off. Finding safety, warmth, and peace with the people we love. Reflecting on what was… and welcoming a new year, a new beginning, full of opportunities. 🕯️✨

Destiny starts the moment you choose to shape your own possibilities …

A regular address for my father and stepmother 🤍 Today we enjoyed a true feast at @duo_lenzburg with perfectly grilled langoustines — delicate, cooked just right, and served with an incredibly refined sauce. From starter to dessert, everything felt beautifully balanced. I love seeing how comfortable my father feels here with fine, French-inspired cuisine, outstanding fish dishes and an excellent wine list. What truly makes the difference is the super friendly DUO team — you always feel comfortable and genuinely welcome. Every visit is a little highlight ✨ On the table: 🦐 Grilled langoustine with tomato & peperoncini butter, 🐟 Bremgarten char with crème fraîche, breadcrumbs & spring onion, 🦪 Fresh oyster, paired with 🍷 Weißer Burgunder & Chardonnay 2022, Weingut Klaus Peter Keller

Between the tracks in Zurich, the @billboard_creatrices project by @creatrices_ turns public space into a platform for feminist ideas. Instead of ads, it displays texts that make social issues visible and invite reflection. A current piece highlights mental load – the often invisible mental and emotional work, mostly carried by women: constantly planning, organizing, and managing responsibilities. The text shows how exhausting this persistent presence can be and how rarely this work is recognized or fairly shared.

Before the sun rises, the world is honest—mountains, lake, and fog resting together, offering beauty, grace, and quiet peace … 🫧

Rituals of light are humanity’s quiet argument against despair … ✨

Recently in Basel, I discovered @gaia.hotel.basel — perfectly located right next to the train station. A place full of history: family-run since 1929 and today one of the city’s first organic & eco-friendly hotels 🌿 What truly impressed me was the beautiful breakfast room: high ceilings, lots of natural light, and classic Belle Époque architecture — you can still feel the charm of another era here. 🥐✨

Maly Blumer, Maccio/Como 1906–1975 War Picture (1930–1975), oil on canvas, 119.5 × 199 cm Set within the pale stone architecture of @kunstmuseumbasel this painting takes hold of you. The space opens — and at the same time, it closes in. A war picture that does not narrate, but devours. Like the skeleton of death, its ribs trapping entire populations. Blues and greys: coldness, stillness, machinery. Reds and violets: blood, life, warmth — not comforting, but alarming. A pulse still beating while everything else has already frozen. The scale of the painting allows no distance. You stand before it and become part of it. No escape. No turning away. We know these images. They reach us every day — on different screens, in different colors, yet with the same weight. An image that stays. Not because it pleases, but because it strikes.

Sometimes the universe sends a sign. Sometimes… it’s a pig with wings …

✨ Bern’s Zytglogge glowing in the night — 800 years of history in one timeless moment, still keeping the city’s rhythm with iconic style. 🕰️🌙

Built in 1909 with grand sandstone façades and a touch of late-baroque classicism, Casino Bern carries more than a century of cultural history in its walls. After its beautifully executed 2019 renovation, every corner reflects timeless Swiss elegance… even the ladies’ restroom. ✨🖤 #CasinoBern #HistoricCharm #ElegantInteriors #GoldenDetails @casino_bern

Spotted in Basel… ✨ A building you simply can’t miss: the Office for Environment & Energy. Its modern solar façade wraps around the entire structure and immediately catches the eye — it looks stunning and even generates clean energy. A true showcase project for sustainable urban architecture.

Münsterhügel is the oldest settlement site in Basel; this is where the first Roman Basilia was founded. Mentelin-Hof commemorates Johannes Mentelin, an early printer and humanist who helped shape Basel’s cultural history. The city’s red-sandstone landmark has towered over the Rhine since the 12th century. Romanesque and Gothic architecture blend here to form one of Switzerland’s most important sacred buildings.

Basel’s Old Town is one of the best-preserved historic city centres in Europe. Between its medieval alleyways, old guild houses, and quiet inner courtyards, you can still feel the spirit of this 2,000-year-old city on the Rhine. A true highlight is Martinsgasse — one of the most beautiful lanes in the Upper Old Town. With its cobblestones, former craftsmen’s houses, and the path leading up to St. Martin’s Church, a stroll here feels like stepping back in time.

An Wienacht schiint’s Liecht im Härz – nit nume am Tannebaum.

Wo dr Ryy lauft, do läbt Basel.

@creperie_basel is where simplicity becomes a little circle of happiness, folded with care and shared with love 💕

A moving experience at the @jewishmuseumofswitzerland Here, 2,000 years of Jewish history meet the present: silver ceremonial objects, ritual textiles, historical documents, contemporary Judaica and art. A key focus is provenance research – uncovering the histories of objects, especially those stolen or sold under duress during the Nazi era. The permanent exhibition “Ritual, Culture, Art” explores Jewish religious life, identity, resilience, and the relationship between Jewish and non-Jewish communities from antiquity to today. It’s truly worth visiting to learn, understand, and build bridges through culture and religion. The visit begins with the special exhibition (Nov 2025–Jan 2027) on Frank Stella’s “Polish Village”. Inspired by the destroyed wooden synagogues of Eastern Europe, Stella’s collages and models recall more than 70 magnificent synagogues lost in the 20th century. Powerful, modern, and deeply moving. ✨🕍

On view until 8 March 2026: “Ghosts. In Search of the Supernatural” @kunstmuseumbasel As you climb the stairs, the flicker-pulse of Philippe Parreno’s lights already pulls you into another register — a quiet electric beckoning that sets the mood before you even enter. Inside unfolds a journey through powerful ghost stories, including seasonal companions like Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Early technical marvels appear too: the first spirit photographs, delicate ghost-hunting devices, all trying to grasp what slips through the fingers. Further on, artists such as Klee, Magritte, Meret Oppenheim, and many others show how the supernatural has shaped imagination across generations. And then there is Katharina Fritsch’s Ghost — pale, motionless, with its quiet puddle of blood — hauntingly beautiful in a way that feels suspended between worlds. An exhibition that stirs old memories and leaves a soft shiver lingering. ✨

A gentle pause in Basel. ✨ Campari Bar, a little glow, a late-light toast, and the kind of calm that feels quietly cinematic. 🥂 @camparibarbasel – the elegant cocktail bar of the @kunsthallebasel

WHISPERS OF JAPAN – Luciano Castelli 21 November 2025 – 15 February 2026 @kbhgeiger Absolutely thrilled about this exhibition — it brings together my love for Japan and my admiration for Luciano Castelli in a way that feels both bold and quietly luminous. Castelli, one of Switzerland’s most boundary-shifting artists since the 1970s, moves fluidly between painting, photography, performance and music. A key figure of the “Neue Wilde,” he has long explored identity, transformation and the art of crossing borders. Whispers of Japan unfolds his ongoing fascination with Japanese aesthetics: early self-portraits, Butō-charged photographs and newly created folding screens that radiate his unmistakably agile brushwork. For anyone drawn to Japan, contemporary art, or the spark of creative reinvention, this exhibition is a quiet marvel worth experiencing. 🌸🖤 #lucianocastelli #japan

@grandhotellestroisrois even the Christmas lights seem to stand a little taller—majestic enough to earn their royal title. ✨👑🎄 #LesTroisRois #Basel #ChristmasMagic

For centuries, mistletoe has carried a quiet kind of magic — a symbol of love, peace, and healing held gently in winter branches. 🌿✨ Here’s to the traditions that remind us to slow down, cherish one another, and welcome a little more warmth into the season.

Cover handprinted by Rilès during « The 25th Hour » performance art. In a world of automation, Rilès chose the opposite path: 20,000 handmade covers, 24 hours, one human imprint repeated until exhaustion. A reminder that creation is not just production — it’s presence, intention, and the trace we leave behind. This album is more than music; it’s a meditation on time, effort, and what it means to stay human. @0riles #humanmade #intentionalart #songsofpresence

Where the winter frost touches the leaves, a magic arises …

Nature gives so much — if we only take the time to see it. 🍂 My lovely neighbor gathers what the forest offers — leaves, berries, branches — and turns it into beautiful wreaths. A little reminder that beauty begins with gratitude for the gifts around us. 🌾💛
