where over twenty young artists from
various universities and academies of
art and design, both Swiss and international, brought to life a shifting landscape, transforming the courtyards
and interior spaces of the castle into a
living environment to be experienced
with all the senses.

Art exhibition
Sunday marked the official closing day of the event, with a contemplative cello performance by Sandro Meszaros, held in the Arsenale, surrounded by the artworks themselves.
Due to the enthusiastic response, the exhibition was extended for an additional month, remaining freely accessible to the public and offering more time to engage with the works in a slower, more intimate rhythm.
