Journey to Home. - Sebastian Wehrle

Exhibition period: 04.10.2024 - 02.02.2025

Sebastian Wehrle is a name that has long been known beyond the borders of the Black Forest. His impressive traditional costume photos decorate living rooms, doctor's offices, bank branches and screen savers - they are simply trendy. As a true child of the region who grew up in Simonswald, Wehrle still finds inspiration in the nature of the Black Forest, which fascinated him as a young boy. This deep connection to nature and his passion for photography are reflected in his works, which represent a perfect symbiosis of tradition and modernity.

"Journey to Home", an exhibition that offers an artistic exploration of the diverse meanings of home and identity. This exhibition begins with a journey through the wide world, which takes us to exotic places and distant landscapes via impressive travel images. But the more we delve into the works of art, the closer we get to a special home - the Black Forest.

The exhibition spans a global perspective to the familiar images of the artist Sebastian Wehrle's home environment. After encountering the world in all its diversity and beauty, we find ourselves in the forests and meadows of the Black Forest and the various works of art on traditional costumes and modernity. The traditional clothing and the distinctive motifs tell of pride, tradition and other perspectives.

“Journey to Home” also shows a journey through the art of Sebastian Wehrle, and that home is not just a geographical place, but a feeling that lives in all of us. Whether far away or in familiar surroundings - the exhibition invites you to think about the meaning of home and to rediscover it in the images, traditions and cultures. Embark on this artistic journey and experience Sebastian Wehrle's art in all its facets.
