Exhibition | "Perceiving or passing by" - a photo journey through the Grisons
Flims has been Bernd Sannwald's second home for over sixty years. Just like Dieter Härtter, he is taken with the symbiosis of the immense nature with tradition and modernity. Some time ago, Bernd Sannwald was asked, if he could imagine photographing Graubünden with his own eyes. Together with Dieter Härtter, he set off on a journey through the canton. They visited around 90 places and recorded their impressions with their cameras. Each in their own individual way. Sannwald in search of the mysterious in the everyday, Härtter in search of a motif for editing on the computer.
The Grisons from a different angle
For Sannwald, the project demanded a balancing act between reportage, i.e. photography of beautiful buildings and other special features, which goes into the long shot, and his actual concern to produce "real Sannwalds", in which the mysterious in particular has to be developed.
In Dieter Härtter's work, the tension of a picture does not come from the photography, but from its reduction. He takes a lot out of his photograph and processes it on the computer to create a picture all of its own. This creates an almost graphic impression. He likes to experiment with materials, over- or underpainting his pictures.
Useful information:
The exhibition also includes works by Bernd Sannwald that are not directly related to the photo book "Wahrnehmen oder Vorübergehen - eine Fotoreise durch Graubünden" ("Perceiving or passing by - a photo journey through Graubünden"), so to say typical Sannwalds.
The exhibition is open to the public | opening hours daily: 9 am - 6 pm. The visit is free of charge. You will find the photographs mainly in our Ignis Bar & Lounge, in the two restaurants and in the conference area. On 1st Juli the artists will be on site for the vernissage. On 3rd August, in addition to the exhibition, there will be a lecture by the artist and trained psychotherapist Bernd Sannwald on the subject of "Perception and Reality in Art".
