Cyrill Lachauer. The Sunset Route: An exhibition about landscape as a living space for thought

At Kunstpalais Erlangen, The Sunset Route opens an exhibition that understands landscape not as a mere view, but as a multifaceted experiential space. Cyrill Lachauer combines photography, film, and poetic narrative into a work about freedom, self-determination, resistance, and the stories that places carry within them.

Landscape as a narrative form

Lachauer, born in 1979 in the Inntal, has been developing an artistic approach for years that intertwines geographical spaces, historical stratifications, and cultural realities. In his pictures and films, landscapes appear as places of memory and friction: open, fragile, politically charged. Kunstpalais presents works from the years 2020 to 2026, including new short films that are being premiered for the first time.

Between photography, film, and autoethnography

The exhibition follows a visual language in which the contemplation of works and the interpretation of the world are inseparably linked. Lachauer's photographic and cinematic work unfolds an aesthetic experience of great presence: light, openness, materiality, and atmospheric density coalesce into narrative landscapes. This perspective opens the view for colonization, exclusion, and exploitation without losing the poetic power of the image.

An artistic experience with political depth

Kunstpalais sees itself as a space for international contemporary art and artistic education. It is precisely here that The Sunset Route unfolds its impact: The exhibition invites you to read the landscape anew and reflect on the relationship between humans, places, and history. Those who engage with this exhibition experience a resonant artistic experience between contemplative tranquility and societal urgency.

Conclusion

Cyrill Lachauer. The Sunset Route promises an intense encounter with contemporary art that unites photographic precision, cinematic movement, and cultural-historical reflection. A visit to Kunstpalais Erlangen is worthwhile for anyone who wants to not just look at art, but experience it as a space for thought and experience.
