10 years of Klanglicht

Klanglicht 2025

Light, art and sound

This year's edition of the KLANGLICHT festival celebrates a special anniversary: 10 years of light and sound art in Graz. We are delighted that, with our support, the landmark of the city of Graz will once again be transformed into a light sculpture visible from afar. In his architectural projection, Berlin artist Julian Hölscher creates an interplay between the real and the projected – embedded in a narrative context. His concept ‘Pochen’ (Beating) for the clock tower deals with a multi-layered, ambiguous narrative. The abstract work moves between speed and slowness, between clear sound and apparent noise, between tension and relaxation. The projection blurs the contours of the landmark, making them vague and thus becoming a visual challenge for the audience.

Sneak Peek  2025

Right next to the artistically staged clock tower, we invite you to visit our XAL stand every evening from 6 p.m. The project stand was designed with great dedication by our XAL and XTEC apprentices for apprentices – using sustainable materials. Discover the result during your visit to Klanglicht and find out first-hand everything you need to know about our apprenticeships for 2025/2026. Immerse yourself in the exciting world of our young talents: use our selfie spot, take part in our competition and secure creative giveaways. The main prize is an elegant XAL NOBA pendant light!
