Revealing the fleeting beauty of human experience
An extraordinary collaboration between the French artist Arnaud Quercy from Paris and the German composer and musician Frank von Häfen from Remagen can be experienced in the artist group “ephemera arts.” The pair’s art seeks the fleeting nature of human experience and attempts to capture and sketch these fleeting moments. Through synergy, von Häfen and Quercy embark on a shared journey, weaving together visual art and music to represent the essence of the ephemeral. The performances are experienced through the clever combination of laser beamers and live music. Lyrical texts by Frank von Häfen complement the mix of genres to create immersive art.
