Platform: A faculty in around 150 facets

Published

Rabea Ernst's installation on Japanese parks won the audience award.

The design students showed around 150 works at the Podest exhibition in April 2026. The audience liked a work about parks in Japan the best.

In Japan, privately run but public parks are a thing. And the operators are extremely creative and diligent when it comes to setting rules of conduct and prohibitions: one rule is that you are not allowed to meet friends in the park, but only stay there with the people you have entered the park with, the designer told visitors.

In the faculty's film studio, she had equipped a scaffolding with screens and information boards that reproduced the atmosphere in these parks in words, images and sound. Visitors stuck more "like" points on her exhibition card than on any other exhibit - hello Audience Award!

Overall, the podium show was as versatile and varied as the faculty. Drawings and paintings, photos and videos, objects and posters, installations and performances from the Bachelor's degree courses in Film and Sound, Photography, Communication Design, Object and Spatial Design, Serious Games & Digital Knowledge and from the Master's degree courses in Photography and Scenography and Communication Design were on display.

In addition, on the second and final day of the exhibition, students offered their own work such as jewelry, graphics, photos, stickers and much more at a creative market in the inner courtyard.
