Cyrill Lachauer. The Sunset Route at Kunstpalais: Landscape as Narrative Space
With The Sunset Route, Kunstpalais Erlangen presents an exhibition that condenses photography, film, and political reflection into a multifaceted artistic experience. Cyrill Lachauer does not just create a sequence of images, but a poetic autoethnography about landscape, memory, freedom, and resistance. The works were created between 2020 and 2026 and revolve around spaces where history, exclusion, and cultural belonging become visible.

An Artist with a Sensibility for Narrative Landscapes
Cyrill Lachauer, born in 1979 in the Inntal region, works at the intersection of photography and film. His practice combines documentary precision with a sensitive, almost literary visual language. On his artist page, central bodies of work appear such as Full Service, I am not sea, I am not land, and Slack, which clearly illustrate his engagement with mobility, border spaces, and societal upheavals. International presentations, including those at Haus der Kunst Munich, Berlinische Galerie, and Kunstpalais Erlangen, mark his institutional presence.

The Exhibition as a Visual Journey
At Kunstpalais, this exhibition unfolds as a concentrated path through photographic sequences and film works. The gaze does not follow a linear narrative but explores image spaces where landscape becomes a carrier of experience. Particularly exciting is Lachauer's concept of narrative landscape: places appear as repositories of traces, materials, bodies, and stories. This creates an exhibition atmosphere that feels both quiet and charged. ([art-in.de](https://www.art-in.de/ausstellung.php?id=10428&utm_source=openai))
