Discoveries in Spaces of Art – Photographs that Sharpen the Gaze

This exhibition at the City Gallery in the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein leads into the exciting field between artwork contemplation, exhibition atmosphere, and personal perception. Herbert Stahl, a long-time art educator and artist, explores in his photographs the resonance relationship between space, artwork, and viewers – precise, poetic, and with humor.

Photography as an Aesthetic Trio of Light, Architecture, Art

At the center is the tangible interaction of painting, sculpture, and installation with the surrounding architecture. Stahl composes painterly-abstract structures with image cropping and perspective, where light edges, wall surfaces, frames, and bodies merge into a visual score. The art experience gains depth: forms rhythmize the space, colors set accents, materials guide the gaze.

People in the Museum: Fleeting Situations, Condensed Moments

Between oversight and attention arises that one second of meaning density that Stahl captures: contemplative silence, a quiet smile, a surprising gesture. These snapshots show how art history, museum practice, and individual seeing meet in the social space of the exhibition – vividly and closely.

Analog, Digital, AI: Perception and Reality Under Review

In addition to analog and digital photography, a film produced with artificial intelligence expands the discourse. It questions image truth, authenticity, and media construction. Thus, the exhibition serves simultaneously as a work and media analysis that makes one's aesthetic experience conscious.

Art Education with Attitude

The City Gallery focuses on well-founded curating and cultural education. Opening hours allow for quiet artwork contemplation; selected tours deepen the topics. The ambiance of the listed Klosterkirche gives the works a clear, concentrated spatial effect.

Conclusion

Those who want to experience photography as a space of perception will find here a precise, image-strong position. Discover how light, space, and art shape your seeing – and let yourself be invited to a mindful, sensual encounter with images. Admission free; ideal for conscious Slow Art moments.
