Chiemgau Alps, print graphic poetry: An exhibition about rhythm, calmness, and resonance

Between alpine scents and paper fibers, a quiet, intense art experience unfolds at the Traunstein District Office: Manuela Federl's photographic series on the Chiemgau Alps meets Clemens Büntig's experimental print graphics and painting. The juxtaposition of documentary imagery and poetic abstraction sharpens the senses for nature, work, time, and personal reflection on the artwork.

Simply Alpine: The Breath of Altitude in Photographs

Federl's photography explores the exhibition atmosphere through light, weather, materiality, and human gestures. Her images tell of early morning coolness, the rough wood of the barns, and traces of work in the grass. In the art historical context, the documentary series connects with traditions of social photography, yet combines it with the regional cultural history of the Chiemgau. The sequences of images create an aesthetic experience where color, contrast, and grain make the alpine topography almost tangible.

FLOW: Print Graphic Symbols of Inner States

Büntig translates plant structures and natural processes into print graphic metaphors. Monotype, drypoint, pigment printing, and painting condense into layers of line, rhythm, and transparency. The theme of nature serves as a matrix for perception and memory; the curation places these sheets into resonance spaces that slow down the gaze. Formal reduction and finely modulated color fields lead to contemplative viewing of the works.

Art History Meets the Present: Expertise with a Regional Focus

Federl (b. 1981, Trostberg) works as a filmmaker, journalist, and photographer; her documentary works have been awarded and internationally recognized. Büntig (b. 1968, San Francisco; raised in Upper Bavaria) studied print graphics in Cádiz and Basel, worked in New York, and founded his print workshop in 2008. His works have been shown in renowned contexts and emphasize a research-based practice between nature observation, spirituality, and print graphic experimentation.

Education, Mediation, Opening Hours

The exhibition runs as part of 'Art in the Office' from November 7, 2025, to April 24, 2026, and is accessible during the regular opening hours of the District Office. Admission is free. Accompanying events took place during the opening and a tour in November 2025; further information is provided by the District Office.

Conclusion

This exhibition makes nature an experiential cultural phenomenon: Federl's alpine images open the eye to everyday life and landscapes, while Büntig's print graphics shape inner maps from plant worlds. Those who take their time will experience a calm, precisely curated interplay of photography and print graphics – an invitation to see the Chiemgau region with new eyes. Definitely visit in person: for a sustainable aesthetic experience between calmness, rhythm, and resonance.
