Flow Meets Alm: Print Graphic and Photo Poetics at the Traunstein District Office

Between Mountain Light and Print Graphic: Two Handwritings, an Intense Art Experience

At the Traunstein District Office, Flow by Clemens Büntig, a contemporary position in print graphic and painting, meets the documentary-poetic photo report Simply Alm – When the Day Suffices Itself by Manuela Federl. The double exhibition unfolds a quiet, contemplative exhibition atmosphere that sets nature observation, landscape perception, and everyday culture of the Chiemgau into a precise artistic dialogue.

Print Graphic Resonances: Plant Forms as Symbols

Clemens Büntig, rooted in Upper Bavaria, develops a vocabulary of lines, layers, and vegetative structures from experimental print graphic techniques and painting. When observing his works, finely modulated black-and-white contrasts and earthy color accents appear; grids, rubbings, and densities create an organic spatial effect. Thus, natural processes – growth, erosion, change – are transferred into a contemporary visual language that oscillates between graphics, painting, and installation.

Photographic Alps: Rhythm of the Day, Topography of Work

Manuela Federl's series on Chiemgau Alps portrays cheesemakers, herdsmen, and alpine farmers in their life and work environment. Her photo essays condense light changes, weather, materials such as wood, stone, fabric, leather into an aesthetic experience in which the cultural landscape becomes visible as a lived space. The camera’s proximity respects biographies and rituals; it makes the rhythm of calm and effort palpable and anchors photography in the tradition of documentary painting of light.

Art Historical Classification and Curation

The juxtaposition of print graphic abstraction and documentary photography refers to two long lines of art history: nature studies as a generator of formal innovation on one hand, socio-documentary image series as a cultural history of everyday life on the other. Curatorially, the pairing sharpens perspectives between form and milieu, between inner flow and outer topography.

Context and Reception

The exhibition is embedded in the series Art at the Office and was opened for the Art and Culture Weekend Traunstein; a public tour deepened the content and methods. For visitors, a low-threshold access to print graphic, painting, and documentary photography is created – with a strong regional anchoring and professional claim.

Conclusion

Those who love the stillness of differentiated surfaces and are curious about the cultural technique of the Alps experience here a concentrated double format: meditative print graphic, narrative photography, clear curation. Plan time to discover details – and let the day in the exhibition suffice itself.
