About the event
Our first edition took place on August 16, 2023, under the New Moon in Leo.
A convergence of Tarot, Art, and Magic, Lunat Epiphania is an immersive gathering where the veils between the visible and invisible grow thin, inviting participants into a transformative journey of self-discovery, avant-garde art, and lunar ritual.
The evening unfolded through a constellation of performances and works:
-
an avant-garde feminist performance by Baby Paradise (video & live act),
-
Frozen Moon, a hybrid animation projected on a large screen,
-
Sensing Volumes, a monumental textile sculpture,
-
a pollen print piece presented as part of Letter to a Friend,
-
Letter to a Friend, a collective typewriter work inspired by the exquisite corpse method, growing organically throughout the night,
-
an improvised cello performance and a sound journey that expanded the sonic space,
-
a curated art exhibition, tarot readings, and a guided meditation & ritual connecting with the energy of the New Moon in Leo.
More than an event, Lunat Epiphania became a space of communion—where art, mysticism, and collective energy wove together, and where community blossomed under the lunar cycle.

KALUV
Art, to me, signifies engaging with oneself and the world In my artistic practice, I process and contemplate my surroundings, reality, and my personal connections with humanity and nature. Art, primarily for me. represents an intangible essence that can certainly take on a physical form. yet it's not obligatory. It signifies, above all, confronting oneself and the world, and engaging in something that feels authentic and is guided by as few societal rules as possible. Artistically, I navigate between abstract-figurative images, drawings. and texts, as well as serially conceived works. I follow erratic thoughts without overthinking, and act instinctively. I paint and layer, I scratch and modify images, I deconstruct and reconstruct, and within these actions, moments of tranquility emerge, often leading me to concrete ideas. The deliberate process of skill reduction and surrendering to "noisy" thinking is a form of perfectionistic anti-perfectionism. I engage in a dialogue with myself and my work, yet I do not have a specific image or representation in mind. Hints of figures emerge, at times to be painted over, transformed into different entities that I never fully articulate, but rather leave suspended, allowing space for imagination and associations, both for myself and others.
TRINUM
Artist, designer & tarot reader born in Argentina and currently living in Berlin. Intuitive and sensitive, I consider myself a great materializer of creations.
Being immersed in the language of symbols made me realize the great transformative power they possess -if we let them guide us. Through my creations, my 1:1 sessions and my Workshops my purpose is to bring clarity and focus to your present so you can develop your full potential.
Priscilla Hasenböhler
The Basel-based artist Priscilla Hasenböhler is interested in those moments and states that arise when supposedly contradictory things take place simultaneously; such as the beautiful and the ugly or rationality and absurdity. Her mainly painted, sometimes digital and sculptural works of art are always created intuitively. She has been studying fine arts at the Zurich University of the Arts and at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
