Jellyblossoms in the Gothic Chapel Room: Sculpture, Sound, and Moving Shadows

At the Air Museum Amberg, Rudolf Finisterre unfolds an intense artistic experience with Jellyblossoms: a freely hanging installation where form, light, and air flow interact invites concentrated contemplation of the work and aesthetic experience in the historical space.

Form Follows Nature: Growth Processes as an Artistic Principle

Finisterre explores growth forms from nature. Sculptural structures emerge from metal, wood, concrete, and silicone that do not merely reproduce the visible but illustrate hidden structures. The Jellyblossoms combine impressions of jellyfish with neural networks of nerve pathways and synapses; organic forms encounter constructive precision.

Air as Medium: Movement, Light, Spatial Effect

A wind machine puts the installation into gentle vibration; directed lighting transforms it into a dynamic shadow play. The exhibition atmosphere fluctuates between filigree and spatial presence. Thus, an immersive space installation is created where materiality, gravity, and air flow become artistic language.

Sound Composition by LuisCentauri

A specially developed sound complements the dramaturgy of the work. The auditory environment frames perception, modulates the temporality of observation, and condenses the synesthetic dimension of the installation.

Artistic Author Position

Rudolf Finisterre, architect and visual artist, taught at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and presented works in both national and international contexts, including the Venice Biennale, Villa Massimo Rome, and TEFAF Maastricht. Awards such as the Baukulturpreis (Metropolitan Region Munich) and nominations at Houses of the Year locate his work between art and architecture.

Museum Education and Visitor Experience

The Air Museum makes the element of air experienceable through design, art, and technology. Tours can be requested at the house; due to the medieval building substance, the museum is not barrier-free. The Gothic Chapel Room offers Jellyblossoms a unique, contemplative stage.

Conclusion

Jellyblossoms promises a sensitive encounter with sculptural form, movement, and sound. Those who appreciate contemporary installation, precise curating, and a characterful exhibition space should experience this exhibition live.
