FIKTIVA Media-Art Festival

FIKTIVA is a media-art festival in Düsseldorf, planned for April 12. & 13. 2019 , in which film, video-art, performances/theatre plays and fine arts meet. The “parcours” (round tour) aims to dissolve the urban routine in the Old Town district of Düsseldorf and to overcome the boundaries between reality and fiction: visitors and passersby become aware of the work of various international artists. The FIKTIVA festival original idea is based on the “parcours”. The artistic offer on the streets of the old-district, the free admission and the inclusion of all social classes without age restriction, is a new experience for many. We aim to promote socially friendly encounters between artists and visitors. This years slogan is URSPRUNG (Origin). “FIKTIVA” is a neologism that combines in itself many aspects that describe the festival in its model character. Every kind of art dissociates itself in a certain way from reality in favor of fiction. Without imagination there is no work of art.
