Freedom grows where rules break. Acceptance is a daughter of freedom. Home of great daughtersons.

According to the motto of the Life Ball, one of the most famous works of Vienna Secessionist Gustav Klimt adorns the Life Ball poster 2015. It was created by star photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who not only reproduced Klimt's painting, but very sensitively and respectfully created her own interpretation of the portrait of "Adele Bloch-Bauer I." Just like Gustav Klimt, who was not always praised for the portrait of his muse Adele, Conchita is a trailblazer and ambassador for acceptance, progressive thinking and free development of the individual.

In 2013, the Life Ball started its series of art posters with a work of the two photographers Pierre et Gilles. Next up was the poster by David La Chapelle, which caused a stir in 2014 and has since become legendary. The art posters are not only an artistic interpretation of the motto of the Life Ball; first and foremost, they manifest its message in large format in Vienna.
