EINBLICKE & GESCHICHTEN
Diese Seite ist direkt mit meinem Instagram verlinkt, damit gebe ich einen Einblick in mein Leben und
meine Passion für Reisen, Kunst und Kultur (alle Fotos sind von mir).
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. ✨🖤

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.
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Here, 2,000 years of Jewish history meet the present: silver ceremonial objects, ritual textiles, historical documents, contemporary Judaica and art.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. ✨
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
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.

The All-Seeing Eye — born of the sun’s fire, shaped from the clouds of dusk. It witnesses what we have learned to overlook: the suffering that stretches across the world — a silent cry that reaches us all. It reminds us: nothing remains hidden — no pain, no injustice, no tear.

Samia Halaby (b. 1936, Jerusalem) was displaced from Palestine with her family in 1948 at the age of eleven and grew up in the American Midwest – at a time when abstract expressionism was popular but female abstract painters were marginalized.
Nevertheless, Halaby established herself as a significant artist and, in the mid-1980s, began incorporating digital media into her practice. Using a Commodore Amiga 1000, she experimented with the programming languages BASIC and C to create kinetic paintings that combined color, form, movement, and sound.
Works such as Bread (1988) are considered pioneering in bridging painting and computer art, and they continue to resonate today both for their painterly qualities and their media-historical significance.

Digilab & Post Digital, @kunsthauszuerich
Launched in 2021, Digilab and Post Digital explore the artistic and societal impact of digital technologies, from AI and big data to the “quantified self,” through experimental approaches. On view until 5 October.
Moderne in Farbe und Form
Robert Delaunay (1885–1941) zerlegte die Welt in Farben und zählt zu den zentralen Malern der Moderne. Seine Werke feiern Licht, Bewegung und das pulsierende Leben.
Aristide Maillol – Hommage à Cézanne: Für die grosse Leitfigur der Moderne, Paul Cézanne, wählt Maillol eine weibliche Allegorie. Das Original entstand in rosafarbenem Marmor (Musée d’Orsay, Paris). Mehrere Bronze-Güsse sind bis heute zu sehen – unter anderem im @kunsthauszuerich und im Jardin des Tuileries in Paris.
Im Dialog der Bilder richtet sich Maillols Skulptur auf Delaunays Farbwelt. Zwei Künstler, zwei Ausdrucksformen – verbunden in einem Vermächtnis der Moderne.
Glacier Dreams – Refik Anadol @kunsthauszuerich
I lost myself in Glacier Dreams by @refikanadol. Data from glaciers in Iceland, Greenland, and Antarctica transform into hypnotic, ever-changing visuals — balancing between beauty and fragility.
The installation makes you feel how nature is in constant motion, yet under threat. Technology reveals what we could hardly grasp otherwise — and reminds us that we are part of this story.
If you visit the Kunsthaus: take your time, breathe, and let the artwork fully embrace you.
Monster Chetwynd – “Zardoz” in the Garden @kunsthauszuerich
For the first time, a female artist has created a commissioned work for the garden of Kunsthaus Zürich: Monster Chetwynd (b. 1973, London; lives in Zürich) presents Zardoz, a monumental, over eight-meter-tall head. The sculpture functions as both a space for reflection and a playground.
Inspired by the grotesque figures of the 16th-century Bomarzo gardens, science-fiction visions of the 1970s, and the tradition of follies, the work invites children and adults alike to enter and explore. The climbable interior transforms the monumental into the accessible, activating the David Chipperfield–designed outdoor space as a true “Garden of Art” for the first time.
Jeffrey Gibson – A Monumental Welcome @kunsthauszuerich
The American artist @jeffrune transforms the entrance hall of the Chipperfield building into a monumental, color-intense installation. His work boshullichi / inlʋchi – we will continue to change unites painting, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, and beadwork into a vibrant cosmos of patterns, forms, and symbols.
The title combines two words from the Choctaw language, both meaning “change.” And that is exactly what Gibson’s work is about: transformation, identity, and the power of cultural diversity.
The entrance hall becomes an open, free-to-all invitation to rethink our perception of art and community.
✨ We Are Here! ✨

The majestic King Protea 👑 🌸 Known as South Africa’s national flower, this beauty isn’t just stunning—it’s deeply symbolic. With its crown-like bloom and strength to rise again after wildfires, the King Protea stands for resilience, renewal, and transformation.
Every time I look at it, I’m reminded that growth often comes from challenges, and that beauty can be both powerful and enduring. 💫

In the heart of Thalwil 🌳🌿
Just a 2-minute walk from the station, the baroque Villa Diana and its Orangerie sit in a stunning park.
Built between 1873–1875, it blends history with modern life. Sip coffee, join a workshop, or simply get lost in the charm.
A place that breathes history – and writes new stories ✨ @thalvie_park
Homage to Fritz Wotruba (1907–1975) ✨
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his death.
At the heart of Wotruba’s work stood the human figure — reduced over time into monumental blocks. He saw his art as a humanistic response to the devastations of war.
Fritz Wotruba was born in Vienna in 1907. From 1926 to 1929, he studied sculpture at the School of Arts and Crafts. From 1938 to 1945, he and his wife lived in exile in Zug. Wotruba’s studio at Weinbergstrasse 4 in Zug was a popular meeting place for many artists and intellectuals.
After the war, Wotruba returned to Vienna. There, he headed a master class for sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts until his death in 1975. His estate is now housed at @belvedere21wien
Works in front of @kunsthauszug
Large Standing Figure (1966, bronze) – A tall, narrow sculpture where figuration dissolves into geometric abstraction.
Large Reclining Figure (1960, bronze) – Built from staggered blocks, an abstracted resting body that shifts with the light.
Other works at Kunsthaus Zug:
Female Cathedral (1946, sandstone with limestone inclusions) – A powerful early stone piece.
Large Standing Man (1974, bronze) – Less reduced, with head, shoulders, and arm stumps still visible.

Together with the Zytturm, the Zollhaus dominates the west side of Kolinplatz. With its stepped gable and Gothic forms, it blends into the medieval cityscape – yet the current building was actually erected in 1868 as the city chancery.
During the 1983 renovation, a spacious open hall was created on the ground floor – a strict, linear space that called for art. And who better than the internationally renowned Zug artist Hans Potthof (1911–2003)
His painting dissolves the heaviness of the stonework and gives the space optical depth – shifting with the light throughout the day. Architecture and painting merge into a vibrant composition that captures natural motifs such as the sun, leaves, birds, and even musicians – a late work in which memory and vision come together.
Hans Potthof didn’t just decorate the Zollhaus – he turned architecture into movement.

Flashback to my last trip to Strasbourg:
Palais Rohan – a Baroque Jewel ✨
In the heart of Strasbourg stands the Palais Rohan, an 18th-century masterpiece. Once the residence of prince-bishops and later a gathering place for kings and emperors, it blends French classicism with Alsatian charm. Today, it houses three museums – and every room tells a story of power, art, and elegance.
I was drawn to the portraits – each one seemed to whisper its own story, each gaze opening a window to the past.

Triebguet Frischluftbar – where summer lights up the Limmat!
Tucked between bridges, with views of Baden’s Old Town and the historic Stein ruins, this summer bar is the perfect riverside escape. Toast to sunset skies, sip on chilled craft beers or playful cocktails, and enjoy grill treats or cool sorbets.
From September 1–27, Triebguet embraces Chäsfondue season – the coziest way to welcome autumn by the river.

Baden on the Limmat – where history and thermal wellness go hand in hand.
The old town nestles against the Jura hills while the Limmat quietly tells its stories – from Roman spa days to the golden Habsburg era, all the way to today’s modern thermal oases. Across the historic wooden bridge to the Landvogteischloss, along the Art Trail by the river, and always with a chance to unwind in Baden’s “liquid gold.”

Last week I stumbled upon this in Baden — and I just couldn’t look away 😍 The mural at Webermühle, created by @lennart_lamolle from Hamburg, is simply stunning✨
Thanks to @foifvier.54 the region is getting more and more color through urban art that doesn’t just decorate walls but tells stories. I love how art like this enriches everyday life and stays. 💛

My little treasure in the garden: my fig tree 🍃💜 – giving me the sweetest, juiciest figs every year.
The fig is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. Originally from the Orient, it has been cherished for thousands of years not only as food but also as a symbol of fertility and life.
Beyond their unique taste, figs are packed with minerals and vitamins: potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and vitamins A, B, and C – true power fruits that nourish both body and soul.
