About

Malte Kebbel is a German artist whose touring artworks and immersive, water-based light installations transform public space into environments of resonance and renewal. At the intersection of technology, ecology, and perception, his work explores the interplay of light, atmosphere, and movement through modular, responsive systems shaped by weather, environment, and human interaction—often situated within curated landscapes and water environments.

His installations have been presented internationally—from Paris and Singapore to Berlin, Sharjah, The Hague, and Niagara Falls—reimagining architecture, gardens, and water landscapes as dynamic ecosystems of light and motion.

His practice extends into conceptual works, including autonomous sculptures, floating light architectures, and water-based systems that blur the boundaries between organic and digital. These environments evolve, respond, and connect, positioning light as a medium of transformation.

Across his works, Kebbel creates spaces where nature and technology merge, inviting viewers into shifting landscapes of perception, time, and experience.
