Wachhaus #18: Hanna Maxi

+++ Opening: January 11, 2026, 2 pm +++
Hanna Maxi is developing a site-specific, intuitive arrangement of various works created during her time at the Kunstakademie in the Wachhaus at the Raketenstation. Among other things, her installation features modular paper works that she assembles as fragments into something larger, modular like a type case that can be rearranged again and again. The paper works are attached to the wall, adapt to the spatial conditions, and can no longer be used after being torn down. In this way, the fragments inscribe themselves into the location and mark it before they disappear at the end of the exhibition period. The arrangement of the works and thus the installation only exists for as long as the exhibition lasts and marks the conclusion of Hanna Maxi’s studies as a fleeting snapshot.
The Wachhaus exhibition series is a collaboration with the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, in which students create a new installation on site every two months. After a cycle of six presentations, one contribution is honored with an award in the following year.
