Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg by Ernst Fuchs (1947) one of the earliest significant works by Austrian painter Ernst. Only 17 years old at the time, Fuchs had recently enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he was studying under Professor Albert Paris Gütersloh. The painting reflects a remarkable level of technical skill and philosophical depth for such a young artist, offering a glimpse into the symbolic and spiritual vision that would later define Fuchs' mature style.

Rendered in a mixed technique of tempera and oil glaze on wood, this work exemplifies the early stylistic foundation of what would later become known as the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism a post-war artistic movement cofounded by Fuchs in the 1950s alongside artists such as Arik Brauer, Wolfgang Hutter, Rudolf Hausner, and Anton Lehmden. This group sought to combine the classical painting techniques of the Old Masters with surreal and symbolic imagery that explored dreams, metaphysics, and the unconscious.

The composition of Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg is visually structured and allegorically rich. It is centered around the image of a cosmic egg, a symbol found in many ancient mythologies representing the origin of the universe, the birth of life, or the fusion of matter and spirit. In this painting, the egg appears as a glowing central form, flanked symmetrically by two elongated, ethereal female figures, whose posture and expressions contribute to an atmosphere of solemnity and mystery. The background is divided into three horizontal zones: a dark, watery lower realm; a middle space filled with abstract, flesh-like or geometric forms; and a luminous upper sky, possibly signifying a spiritual or transcendent plane.

The painting’s meticulous glazing technique, inherited from Flemish and Renaissance traditions, creates a jewel-like surface that enhances the dreamlike quality of the image. Fuchs was known for reviving and mastering these older methods to heighten the spiritual intensity of his subjects. His early fascination with sacred art, biblical themes, and medieval iconography is already evident here, woven into an original visual language that would later be recognized as central to his oeuvre.

Fuchs’ lifelong engagement with spiritual philosophy, esotericism, and sacred geometry would later become central to his vast body of work, including paintings, stained glass, architectural design, and religious sculpture. Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg is thus not only a powerful standalone piece but also a formative step in a career devoted to the mystical possibilities of art.

Fuchs continued to develop this visionary aesthetic throughout the 20th century, eventually gaining international acclaim. He died in 2015 in Vienna, leaving behind a legacy that fused classical craftsmanship with surreal imagination and spiritual inquiry.

For this special MuséeCast session, Octave Marbot the DJ and producer from Kaiserslautern (hertzmusic) takes on the role of your trusted tripsitter through the electronic underground. Since 1999, he has been navigating the audio galaxies to bring the sound of the universe to the dancefloor. With a deep-rooted passion for transcendental frequencies, Marbot crafts an experience that is more than just a set; it is a guided journey through states of mind and space.

Drawing from mystical and psychedelic sounds sourced from all corners of the world and beyond his set fuses hypnotic basslines, percussive grooves, spacey synth riffs, and a subtle infusion of acid and trance. The result is an atmospheric ascent into cosmic spheres, where sound becomes light and rhythm becomes gravity. Just as the energy peaks, he gently brings the listener back down, landing softly on the edge of the inner world.

It felt very special to play on an artwork I helped build, deep in the South African desert. The sculpture—a pregnant woman lying on her back— represented a symbol of peace and unity. A place of rebirth. A space for transformation and release.

I wanted to play a downtempo set that honored that feeling. It is a compilation of some of the tracks that touched me the most since discovering downtempo in 2020 (including one of the very first downtempo track I ever danced to).

Downtempo Delights #005: true Ƞɑʈure

What a privilege to play the good morning set for an important day on which two amazing people celebrating their love and the love for their friends on this beautiful weekend.

My goal was to ease everyone gently into what would become an incredible day. Started with those soft, mellow tracks to let people wake up naturally, then gradually built the energy to properly get those sleepy spirits moving.
The setting was super cute - right there poolside, watching people literally jump in the water to wake up and find their groove. There’s something special about being part of that transition from peaceful morning vibes to full celebration mode.

This set captures that whole journey - from those gentle wake-up moments to everyone coming alive and ready to celebrate.

Maybe this helps you as well to start your day ;)
