SH!FT
Sixth Chapter of Kollektiv WERT
August 18-24, 2025 | ZiMMT
The world has shifted. You feel it too, right?
For five years we pursued the question: What is VALUE? It doesn't lie in things. Nor in concepts. But in that which emerges between us. In inspiration, in departure. In collective work. In discourse - in the echo, in dispute and reconciliation, in recognizing common paths and intersections. In the urge to act.
SH!FT is not an announcement. It's a fact. The shift has long since happened – in how we work, how we meet, how we understand responsibility, how we perceive the world. The question is: What will you do with it?
With each year we came closer - Resonance, con:sens, Synergy, Paradigm. It's no longer about what art can do. But about what we create when we come together. When we forge new connections where old structures crumble. When we ourselves create what is no longer offered out to us.
Displacement, layer, change, transition. SH!FT carries - as always - multiple meanings. A multisensory space for ambiguous encounters
At ZiMMT we're getting together again. Coming to the table. Taking time for exchange, for experiments, for the unexpected.
For all who sense it's time. And have time.

About
KOLLEKTIV WERT is a time-based collective of artists from diverse disciplines. We unite media art, visual art, music, performance, painting and sound in real, digital and philosophical worlds to create encounters for a collective community. Since our founding in 2018, we have been working with the concepts of projection, light and value: letting spaces, objects and subjects "shine in new light," "projecting new value" and crystallizing "valuable" qualities through light in new ways.
Time is our most valuable currency
Information is the most important value
Light is the fastest form of information dissemination, as far as we know.
KOLLEKTIV WERT works interdisciplinarily and experiments with new forms of expression and spaces. Through this combination, we create innovative formats, interactive and participatory installations that serve not only as artistic forms of expression, but also as platforms for dialogue and exchange.
Resonance, con:sens and Synergy are the foundation of our collective work.
