Almlight and Printmaking: An Exhibition on Rhythm, Nature, and Inner Movement

At the Traunstein District Office, two artistic positions come together that reassess the Chiemgau with a vigilant eye and a fine sense of perception: Manuela Federl presents an artistic-documentary photo report titled 'Simply Alm – When the Day Suffices' about alpine pastures and their people. In parallel, Clemens Büntig unfolds a dense world of painting and printmaking with 'FLOW,' where plant and landscape forms become symbols of emotional states. Admission is free.

Art Experience Between Alm Fragrance and Printer's Ink

The exhibition atmosphere combines the silence of the high elevations with the concentration of the studio: Federl's photographs tell in precise sequences about work, weather, time, and dignity – from the first light over wet grass to rough hands and the wide view over the ridges. Büntig's work consideration leads into fine line textiles, transparent layers of color, and rhythmic densifications that transform nature observation into poetic abstraction.

Art Historical Contexts and Curatorial Setting

Photography and printmaking enter into a dialogue that combines documentary accuracy with experimental image finding. Federl connects to the tradition of committed report photography and translates regional culture into a contemporary visual ethnography. Büntig, shaped by his studies in original printmaking and international stages, connects to the history of intaglio and relief print techniques and explores their sensual possibilities between painting, drawing, and print.

Material, Color, Spatial Effect

The aesthetic experience thrives on contrasts: matte wood fibers and glossy lacquers, grainy papers and delicate pigment skins, earthy green tones and muted gray-blue scales. Federl's motifs breathe Alm light and weather changes; Büntig's prints create pulsating image spaces from leaf nerves and blades. Thus, a consideration of works emerges that makes natural processes readable as images of inner movement – a quiet, sustainable art experience.

Education and Mediation

The exhibition is part of the 'Art in the Office' series and can be visited during the regular opening hours of the Traunstein District Office. A guided tour with the artists took place on November 8, 2025; further cultural education offerings are communicated by the cultural and heritage department.

Conclusion

Those who wish to experience the art of the region in high quality will find a concentrated double portrait of two handwriting styles: photographically precise everyday poetry and printmaking nature metaphors. A visit is worthwhile – for fresh perspectives, slowed perceptions, and an aesthetic experience that resonates long after.
