One Day is Enough: Photography and Graphic Art Unfold Quiet Intensity

Art in the Office: Chiemgau Alps and Graphic Nature Processes in Dialogue

This double exhibition at the Traunstein District Office brings photography and graphic art into a sensual conversation: Manuela Federl presents the series Simple Alm – When the Day is Enough, while Clemens Büntig showcases the work complex FLOW. An intense art experience emerges between everyday rituals of alpine farming and poetically condensed plant structures.

Art Review: Light, Weather, Work – The Aesthetics of Alpine Everyday Life

Federl's images tell about the rhythm of the Chiemgau Alps: morning coolness, steaming pastures, rough wood. Her documentary photography condenses gestures, tools, and faces into a calm, clear visual language. The exhibition atmosphere allows colors to ground and materials to speak – hay, leather, stone. Thus, photography becomes a school of attention.

Graphic Resonances: Plants as Memory of Time

Büntig's graphics and mixed techniques transform leaf veins, color veils, and embossings into symbols of transformation. In painterly reworked prints, layers condense as if wind, moisture, and light had left their traces in the paper. The spatial effect of the sheets invites contemplative artwork observation; the curation establishes silent dialogues between forms, surfaces, and rhythms.

Art Historical Context and Expertise

The series Simple Alm was created in the context of the Chiemgau Cultural Days; Federl is internationally present as a filmmaker with The Game. Play between Life and Death. Büntig, who grew up in Upper Bavaria, studied graphic art in Cádiz and Basel, worked in New York in the environment of significant editions, and founded his own printing workshop in 2008. His works have been shown in renowned collections; his approach combines traditional printing techniques with contemporary material aesthetics.

Education and Mediation: Art as Cultural Technique of Perception

The exhibition is an invitation to aesthetic experience: learning to see at a decelerated pace. During the regular service hours of the house, motifs of alpine farming and natural processes unfold without haste. Guided tours and an exhibition walk accompany the period; admission is free.

Conclusion

Those who wish to experience photography as precise narration and graphic art as a breathing surface will find two strong positions here. Colors, forms, and materials unfold a quiet intensity. Come, let your gaze calm down – and discover in the corridors of the district office how art transforms the everyday world and nature into a convincing, contemporary image.
