Where Freising Becomes a Place of Well-being

The exhibition I'm Doing Well Here! presents the best photographs from the competition of the same name organized by vhs Freising. It centers on a question that is both personal and socially relevant: In which places in Freising do people find peace, draw strength, and experience well-being?

Photography as an Aesthetic Experience

The exhibited images show Freising from individual perspectives. The Isar appears frequently as a familiar place of longing, where movement, water, and landscape create a serene exhibition atmosphere. Green retreats, characterful trees, private gardens, and the architecture of the city also become visual expressions of health and well-being.

Personal Places, Shared Perspectives

The photographic works combine documentary observation with subjective art interpretation. Each shot tells of a place that allows for biographical memories, physical relaxation, or inner focus. Thus, the exhibition becomes an invitation to perceive one’s surroundings more consciously and to see familiar paths with new eyes.

Award-Winning Photographs from Freising

The first prize was awarded to Christa Hutflesz for her view from the Domberg onto the city. The second prize went to Stephan Wittmann for the photograph of a personal garden paradise, and the third prize was awarded to Manfred Gerber for the portrait of a Süntel beech at the Schlangenweg. Sebastian Beier, Christine Moratz, and Josef Westermeier were recognized for their impressive perspectives.

Cultural Education and Sustainable Development

vhs Freising connects the photography competition with the sustainability goal of health and well-being set by the United Nations. This gives the exhibition a cultural-pedagogical dimension: Photography makes personal experiences visible and opens conversations about the significance of nature, urban space, movement, and retreats for a good life.

Conclusion: Discover Freising Through New Eyes

The art experience of I'm Doing Well Here! is close to everyday life. The exhibition does not showcase distant visual worlds, but places that are right in Freising and yet allow for a special aesthetic experience. Those who want to experience the connection between photography, urban perception, and cultural education should visit the exhibition during its run.
