Floating Reality: When Perception Begins to Waver
The group exhibition Floating Reality opens a poetic yet precise art experience in the North Hall of the Morat Halls. Three artists trained in Germany – Ye Qian, Fangchao Bi, and Qiuning Zhu – explore the fragile zone between perception and reality through painting, video, and spatial works. The exhibition opening takes place on September 18, 2026 at 6:00 PM in Freiburg; admission is free. ([visit.freiburg.de](https://visit.freiburg.de/schwebende-realitaet-1?utm_source=openai))
Between Image Space and Present
The exhibition begins at the point where contemporary art becomes particularly strong: at the friction between seeing and understanding. Ye Qian develops surreal image worlds with black humor, Fangchao Bi makes duration, change, and disappearance tangible in an interactive light installation, and Qiuning Zhu combines silkscreen printing with architectural interventions. From these positions, a dense exhibition situation emerges, where color, light, surface, and spatial effect directly communicate with each other.

An Exhibition with Space, Time, and Irritation
It is precisely the heterogeneity of artistic means that shapes the appeal of the show. Painting meets video, materiality meets movement, image meets installation. Those who walk through the North Hall experience not a linear sequence but an open curation that invites careful observation. The works shift familiar orders and open up an aesthetic experience that is both sensually and intellectually engaging. ([freiburg.de](https://www.freiburg.de/pb/2643272.html?utm_source=openai))
Morat Halls as a New Place for Contemporary Art
The Morat Halls at Lörracher Straße 31 have established themselves as a new space for contemporary art in Freiburg since their opening. The building spans nearly 2000 square meters, houses the Morat Institute for Art and Art Sciences, and connects the North Hall with the Municipal Gallery. The exhibition spaces are open Thursdays and Fridays from 4 to 7 PM and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 AM to 5 PM; the exhibition is closed on public holidays. Accessibility is already provided via the back entrances, and a wheelchair ramp at the main entrance is planned. ([freiburg.de](https://www.freiburg.de/pb/2555010.html?utm_source=openai))
Cultural Education and Open Seeing
Floating Reality is not only aimed at art connoisseurs but also at an audience seeking orientation in contemporary visual languages. The exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the works and clearly illustrates how contemporary art evolves between installation, painting, and spatial composition. For visitors, this creates an inspiring art experience that sharpens the awareness for nuances and consciously slows down their perception.

Conclusion: Floating Reality promises a concentrated encounter with contemporary art that rethinks perception, visual language, and space. Those who want to experience Freiburg's art scene this autumn should visit this exhibition live and discover the subtle shifts in person.
