Print Graphics Meets Alpine Life: FLOW and Einfach Alm Enchant Traunstein

Name: FLOW and Einfach Alm – Clemens Büntig meets Manuela Federl
Start: 2025-11-17 08:00:00
End: 2025-11-17 08:00:00
Location: Landratsamt Traunstein

Nature as Resonance Space: 'FLOW' and 'When the Day Suffices' at the Traunstein District Office

The exhibition series 'Art in the Office' connects print graphic poetry with a documentary alpine world in Traunstein: Clemens Büntig's delicate print graphics and paintings encounter Manuela Federl's photographic explorations of the Chiemgau Alps. The interplay of experimental print art and sensitized reportage invites an intense art experience – close to the landscape, work, and people of the region.

Examination of Work: Print Graphics as Breath of Nature

Büntig's works arise from a research-oriented perspective on inner and outer natural processes. With intaglio, monotype, and drawing elements, he overlays transparent layers of color that become readable as growth layers. He transforms plant fragments, leaf veins, and root structures into symbols of the soul's states – an aesthetic experience between groundedness, change, and calm. Stations such as the exhibition 'secret garden' at the Botanical Garden Munich and the presence of his prints in international collections underscore the artistic authority of his oeuvre.

Alpine Daily Life as Image Reportage: Photographs with Gentle Intensity

Federl's series 'Einfach Alm – When the Day Suffices' was created on six selected alpine pastures of the Chiemgau and Berchtesgaden Alps. It shows milking, fence work, cheese production, and the vastness of the mountainous landscape, often in early morning light and muted color tones. A special feature of the presentation: handcrafted frames made from old hay bales and wooden stands that structure the sequence of images like fences. Quotes from the herders rhythmize the exhibition atmosphere and open space for cultural education about alpine work, traditions, and animal welfare.

Curating: Dialogue of Form and Life World

The juxtaposition follows a curatorial idea of the resonance principle: graphic abstractions of the vegetative meet the documentary nature of alpine life. Forms, materials, and light entwine into a sensual spatial effect that connects art appreciation and regional identity. Thus, art history from the perspective of print graphics – from classic intaglio techniques to contemporary experimental spirit – interlocks with present-day image reportage.

Education and Mediation: Tours and Open Studios

As part of the art and culture weekend, opening and guided tours were announced; the exhibition is accessible for several months during the opening hours of the district office. For school classes and groups, the exhibition serves as an occasion to discuss craftsmanship, sustainability, alpine farming, and image analysis – from material studies of print graphics to the visual storytelling of reportage photography.

Conclusion

Those who appreciate inner calm, precise observation, and artistic experimentation will experience a concentrated encounter with nature and culture here. 'FLOW' and 'Einfach Alm' open the senses, decelerate the gaze, and invite you to visit the exhibition live – for a sustainable, aesthetic experience in the heart of Traunstein.
