AFZ 2025 - VIDEOWALK GREENCITY
Lukas Sander’s videowalk “Unfinished”guides audiences through Zurich’s Greencity district //registration required
Videowalk: Unfinished
Artist: Lukas Sander
Unfinishedis an artistic videowalk that can only be experienced on location. It guides audiences through Zurich’s last and largest recently developed district, built on the former Sihlpapier industrial site—a place where city planning can be observed in miniature.
Participants receive a tablet that leads them through residential and commercial areas, green spaces, and highways in a continuous shot, blending real urban environments with layered time and narrative. The immersive experience combines visuals, sound design, and voiceover, creating a dialogue between the material city and its ghostly cinematic image.
The project emerges from long-term observation and conversations with residents, cooperatives, and city planners, exploring both the aesthetics and underlying politics of the neighborhood. Produced in collaboration with Theater Gessnerallee and first shown last summer, the work has resonated strongly with audiences, particularly those with an interest in architecture.
The walk will be offered in both German and English.
Lukas Sander was born and raised in Berlin. He studied scenography at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and stage design at Zurich University of the Arts where he also was an associate artist in the Artistic Fellowship Programme.
Before and during his studies he worked in different departments like camera, scenography and editing for
movies and documentary cinema as well as stage design assistant at the Theatre of Frankfurt and the Opera of Zurich.
Since 2008 he works as scenographer, light designer and video artist - first in Germany and since 2012
mainly in independent productions in Switzerland.
In his independent productions he realises site specific projects, installations and videowalks - last to be seen
at the Biennale Bern, Palazzo Trevisan in Venice and Gessnerallee Zurich.
He had teaching assignments at the Universities of the Arts in Zurich, Berlin and Karlsruhe and currently lives in Zurich.
