About

Malte Kebbel is a German artist working primarily in Floating Light Art — a site-specific practice of immersive light installations that transform public space into environments of resonance and renewal, realized on water and extending into land-based and hybrid environments.

Working at the intersection of technology, ecology, and perception, his work explores the interplay of light, sound, atmosphere, and movement through modular, responsive systems shaped by weather, environment, and human interaction. These installations function as spatial compositions in which light, sound, and interactivity are orchestrated—at times unfolding as synchronized sequences resembling light and sound symphonies.

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 spatial 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.
