"...Toni Wombacher is a finder. She finds materials and subjects, things, techniques, which she works up, manipulates and alienates. Her creative work is definitely unconventional. She is in a certain way unpredictable...."

MISCHEN is described as the act of blending elements that, through their combination, form a new connection. Individual components of a mixture can either merge or remain clearly recognizable. (Duden: a comprehensive German dictionary and reference book that standardizes German spelling, grammar, and usage.)
Katrin Paul (Frankfurt), Toni Wombacher (Frankfurt), Elmar Vestner (Berlin), Ryoji Ishioka (Tokyo), Kiyoshi Kuroda (Tokyo), and Ayame Ono (Tokyo). The artist group MISCHEN, consisting of three German and three Japanese artists, came together at the beginning of 2024. Their work follows exactly this principle: six different artistic positions meet and form a heterogeneous whole. MISCHEN is more than a collaboration – it is a search for a common vocabulary. Through active exchange via email, social media, and virtual meetings, exhibition projects emerge that are characterized by mutual inspiration in themes and working across different media. While each artist maintains their individual visual language, the connection of the six positions—painting, photography, object art, graphics, illustration, and installation—creates a dialogue that reflects the tension between the cultural backgrounds and artistic practices of the group. A stay of the Japanese artists in Frankfurt and Berlin in July 2024 provided us with the opportunity to deepen our collaboration through studio visits and workshops, which was subsequently expressed in two joint exhibitions in Tokyo, Japan:
Galerie place by method (August 2024) and Art Side Gallery (January 2025). For the upcoming exhibition in Frankfurt am Main, organized by Werkbund Hessen and netter architekten gallery, the result of this artistic “blending” will be presented across three spaces.

Toni Wombacher's trick animation in slow succession shows scenes of complete freedom, relaxation and leisure. White lines dance across the black screen with ease resist the constant flood of media information. The images remind passers-by of their dreams in their everyday routine.
