With Open Eyes: A (Picture) Journey to the Endangered Treasures of our Nature
In the sacred space of the Basilica of St. Jacob, an intense art experience unfolds: An image-rich lecture leads through fragile ecosystems and shows how light, form, and color shape our perception of the works. Between Gothic architecture and contemporary imagery, an exhibition atmosphere emerges that combines aesthetic experience and environmental education.
Natural Forces of Images: Colors, Shapes, Habitats
Selected image series focus on threatened species and habitats. Intense color spaces, texture-rich macro shots, and wide landscape panoramas sharpen the awareness of biodiversity and ecological connections. The curatorial dramaturgy follows the interplay of proximity and distance: detailed nature studies alternate with broad views, enhancing the spatial impact of the basilica to amplify the image effect.
Art Historical Lens: From Studies of Nature to the Present
Since the Early Modern Period, painting has accompanied the exploration of nature. The sequences of images connect to this tradition and update it with photographic strategies that combine documentary precision and poetic condensation. Thus, a contemporary nature iconography emerges that links preservation, responsibility, and wonder.
Curating and Conveying: Learning to See as an Attitude
The presentation utilizes the church space as a resonating body: subdued light, clear sightlines, and rhythmized sequences of images promote a decelerated reception. Introductory moderation, background information on species and habitat protection, as well as references to local environmental education strengthen cultural education. Those who take the perception of the works seriously leave the space with sharpened awareness.
Space and Resonance: Gothic Meets the Present
The Basilica of St. Jacob – a late Gothic masterpiece – offers a unique stage: high vaults, clear lines, finely modulated light. The dialogue between historical architecture and contemporary image practice intensifies the aesthetic experience and anchors the lecture in a local, cultural context.
Conclusion: Visitors can expect an impressive visual journey that touches and educates. It connects artistic perspective with natural scientific accuracy and invites one to not only admire the beauty of endangered treasures but to protect them. Absolutely experience live – for mind, sense, and conscience.
