Narrative Landscapes between Movement and Memory

Cyrill Lachauer, born in 1979 in the Inn Valley, works with photographic series, films, and texts to create an imagery in which landscape is not merely a backdrop but a repository of history, migration, loss, and resistance. His work combines documentary observation with poetic condensation and interrogates places as social, political, and cultural spaces.

Slack, The Prologue, The Epilogue: Cinematic Montage as Open Form

At the center is the film project Slack, developed with US photographer Mike Brodie. It is complemented by the new short films The Prologue and The Epilogue, which further the motif of the railway as an image of mobility, migration, and social reality. Additionally, photographic works such as Cardboard & Copenhagen and Birds (Nat. Geo. 1989–1999) weave together collage, observation, and atmospheric montage.

Curated Present: Film, Photography, and Social Questions

Curated by Susanne Touw and Malte Lin-Kröger, the Kunstpalais presents the exhibition in collaboration with the Goetz Collection. The exhibited works were created between 2020 and 2026 and revolve around freedom, self-determination, colonization, exclusion, and exploitation. The strength of this presentation lies precisely in this: it offers no quick answers but a precise work examination and an aesthetic experience with political depth.
