Düsseldorf · Summer 2026

Pieces of art are hidden in this city.

Artists from all over the world make small works inspired by Düsseldorf. Each one is preserved in a small glass cube and left somewhere in the city. Whoever finds one, keeps it and can leave a message as its new owner. On September 30, everything here is frozen in time.

The artworks stay covered until the freeze. What you see is the foil - not the piece.


Made

By artists all over the world

Each piece is a small original work inspired by Düsseldorf - painted, drawn, printed, or crafted - the size of a postcard, preserved in a small glass cube.

Hidden

Somewhere in the city

The pieces are left in public places across Düsseldorf, waiting. No maps, no clues - only luck and attention.

Yours

If you find one, keep it

Scan the code on the piece and, if you like, leave a message as its new owner. After September 30, all messages are sealed here forever.


Call for artists

One small work. One stranger who will keep it.

We're looking for artists anywhere in the world - any medium that fits a postcard, inspired by Düsseldorf. Submissions until August 30. You keep all rights, with full credit here and in the film.
