Augustin Rebetez creates an intimate cabinet full of strange object-creatures surrounded by dream-like images, mysterious videos and the sounds of musician Louis Jucker.

Artist Augustin Rebetez stages dark, wondrous poetic worlds that always obey extremely peculiar logics. In his collages, drawings, installations and stop-motion films, he transforms the simplest of materials into tragicomic, playful and moving images. His art, at times dizzying, spreads out in books and on stages, in films and derelict houses, but above all in numerous exhibitions around the world.

With “The Grain Show” Augustin Rebetez joins his long-time companions, the Swiss musician Louis Jucker and designer Goupie Goupek, to construct a spatial installation consisting of objects, films and live concerts, developed especially for steirischer herbst. This intimate place at the heart of this year’s festival centre, he promises with a twinkle in his eye, will create dreams and eat its way into the hearts of the audience like a black liquor. Augustin Rebetez takes visitors on a journey into an intimate universe that Louis Jucker fills with the sound of his self-made instruments until it is no longer clear who has crept into whose dream.
