Cyrill Lachauer at Kunstpalais: A Landscape as an Open Space of Thought

With The Sunset Route, Kunstpalais Erlangen presents an exhibition that combines photography, film, and installation into a multifaceted narrative. Cyrill Lachauer focuses on the landscape not as a backdrop but as a culturally charged space where freedom, self-determination, colonization, and exclusion become visible. The exhibition gathers works from the years 2020 to 2026 and invites an aesthetic experience that is both sensual and political.

Image Spaces between Vastness and Resistance

Lachauer's work connects photographic precision with cinematic condensation. Landscape appears in his work as a narrative space where traces of history, material culture, and personal experience intertwine. The collages of the Birds series, in which fragments of landscapes are condensed into abstracted bird heads, particularly highlight his poetic method: The image becomes a thought image that demands both perception and interpretation.

Between Document and Poetic Autoethnography

The exhibition is understood as a journey through an artistic practice that intertwines observation, memory, and societal analysis. Lachauer, who studied directing, ethnology, and fine arts, moves confidently between media and disciplines. His works develop a strong exhibition atmosphere: Light, surface, rhythm, and narrative tempo create a space where art appreciation and reflection reinforce each other.
