After its successful debut at the UdK Berlin 2018, the 2019 workshop “Im Wandel der Stoffe” (The Change of Substances) at the Hochschule Düsseldorf underwent its second stage. At the end of the semester, 40 design students presented the results of their experiments with over 130 different substances in an exhibition at the Galerie von neospektiv Düsseldorf.
Workshop
14-part semester workshop at the Design Department of the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences. The workshop is designed as a free creative experiment to sensitise both the participant and the exhibition visitor to physical processes and their design potential.
Exhibition
In addition to visualising the results in image, film or object, a spatial concept for staging the exhibits, a corporate design with website, posters and other print products were developed together with the students and neospektiv Düsseldorf.




The behaviour of ephemeral fabrics offers a new aesthetic impression at every moment that can simply not be reproduced in an identical way. Whether fog, wind, water or fire — a complex system of various parameters ensures that the viewer cannot predict the next moment of change, the next moment of divergence, meaning total random effect.


The change of different substances and the analysis of the fixed and stable set of rules, which repeatedly evokes volatile and unstable states of form, colour and structure, were investigated with the aim of using the constantly changing shape of fabrics as a form of expression on a multisensory level.
