An Installation atPlatz der Republik, Altona.
In cooperation with the STAMP Festival, glitter takes over public space in a performative installation. On July 5 and 6, "The Glitter Museum" by and with Sophia Bizer opens its museum doors at Platz der Republik in Altona. Pick out a sparkling outfit or accessory, step into the glittering one-person museum, and reorganize the collection if you like.
What exactly is glitter, and what makes it so fascinating? In what contexts does glitter play a role, and where does this shimmering material help shape identity? In a tiny space, a very special collection of found objects, stories, and memories is presented—one that can be expanded by visitors. The Glitter Museum offers a sense of intimacy and surprisingly museum-like conditions.
Sophia Bizer is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher who feels at home in the world of objects. Using minimal materials, she creates small- and large-scale worlds that come to life only through the participation of visitors. With roots in visual art, she combines visual and performative approaches into new, surprising formats.
STAMP is an international festival for art & theater in public space. From July 4–6, 2025, it transforms Altona into an urban stage for contemporary circus, immersive theater, site-specific productions, participatory performances, and artistic interventions—genres merge here into a unique open-air program.
