Martin Engelmann in Traunstein: Multimedia 'In Search of Italy'

Italy in Images, Sound, and Storytelling: Martin Engelmann in Traunstein

On Thursday, February 5, 2026, National Geographic author and travel photographer Martin Engelmann transforms the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche into a space of longing: His new live multimedia presentation 'In Search of Italy' takes you through Venice's masquerade, along the Way of St. Francis, to the Amalfi Coast and the South – a literary experience of language, voice, and visual poetry.

Sensual Journey: Voice, Light, Landscape

In the intimate reading atmosphere of the Klosterkirche, poetic image sequences meet precise storytelling. Engelmann's timbre modulates between wonder and quiet melancholy, his style combines reportage, travel essay, and reflective prose into a dense narrative about man and nature.

Italy as a Narrative Cosmos

From the Dolomites to Naples and Pompeii: Italy's topographies become stages for life stories. The dramaturgy of the multimedia presentation relies on visual guidance, rhythm, and motifs; literary quality and linguistic artistry open spaces for cultural discourse about beauty, vulnerability, and memory.

Works, Awards, Reception

Engelmann’s works have been featured by SPIEGEL, DIE ZEIT, ZDF, ORF, and 3sat; his photo calendar GAIA has received the 'gregor international calendar award' multiple times. His book projects include the volume 'Sicily – Jewel in the Heart of the Mediterranean' published in 2024 (Frederking & Thaler).
