About
Malte Kebbel is a German artist whose immersive light environments and sculptural visions transform public space into realms of reflection, resonance, and renewal.
At the threshold of technology, ecology, and perception, his work unfolds as a dialogue between material and atmosphere, light and breath, presence and possibility. Through modular systems, responsive structures, and luminous forms, he composes spaces that feel alive—shaped by movement, weather, data, and the quiet rhythms of human interaction.
Kebbel’s installations have illuminated cities around the world, from Paris and Singapore to Berlin, Sharjah, and The Hague. In these diverse contexts, his works reimagine architecture and nature as living ecosystems—fluid fields of energy, memory, and motion.
His practice extends beyond the physical, encompassing a growing landscape of conceptual works: autonomous sculptures, floating light architectures, and systems that blur the lines between organic growth and digital presence. These are spaces that breathe, listen, and evolve—where light becomes more than illumination: a carrier of meaning, transformation, and connection.
Through both realized installations and visionary studies, Kebbel creates spaces where nature and technology intertwine—where the boundaries between thought and form dissolve. His work invites us to step into a landscape where perception expands, time softens, and each encounter is part of a luminous unfolding.
