"Fantierisch," building animals on the festival grounds: Something big is being created! On the meadow at GZ Buchegg, oversized animal-like beings take shape during the Blickfelder Festival. Using wooden slats and boards, children and teenagers construct walkable and partially movable animal sculptures. Imagination knows no bounds; whether giant ants, invented dinosaurs, or peculiar hybrids, almost anything is possible. The figures can be brought to life through simple mechanical elements. Over eleven days, students from ZHdK, together with the festival audience, create a total work of art in workshops with school classes or during free time. The sculptures can be played with in various ways at the conclusion.

Approximately 12:00 – 1:00 PM

Lunch at the festival center with individually brought picnics. Free time at the festival center with various recreational activities or an audio tour, "Labor der Privilegien" (Laboratory of Privileges).

1:00 – 3:30 PM

The fantastic journey continues...
