I'm doing well here! – Discover Freising through personal photographs
Where do people in Freising find peace, strength, and well-being? The exhibition on the photography competition of vhs Freising addresses a simple yet personally touching question. From October 16 to November 19, 2026, the Volkshochschule will present selected photographs on the screen in front of its building on Kammergasse.
Photography as an Expression of Well-Being
The displayed images focus on places where people can breathe, recharge, and be wholly themselves. Nature, water, green spaces, familiar urban areas, and quiet retreats appear as visual expressions of health and quality of life.
The vhs Freising links the photography competition with the sustainability goal of health and well-being of the United Nations. Personal perceptions give rise to a joint project of cultural education that transforms local everyday life into a photographic investigation.
Isar, Urban Landscape, and Personal Sources of Strength
Many submissions lead to the Isar and its banks. Water, vegetation, and open landscapes unfold a peaceful, almost contemplative effect in the photographs. The architecture of Freising also gains a new aesthetic presence through light, perspective, and framing.
The exhibition shows how photographic composition transforms familiar places. A carefully chosen detail, a special lighting mood, or an unusual perspective directs perception and opens the view for details that often remain hidden in daily life.
Awarded Photographic Perspectives
The first prize was awarded to Christa Hutflesz for her view from Domberg over the city. Stephan Wittmann impressed with an insight into a personal garden paradise, and Manfred Gerber with a portrait of a Süntel beech on Schlangenweg. Further distinguished works come from Sebastian Beier, Christine Moratz, and Josef Westermeier.
The presentation is complemented by photographs from Brigitte Hensel, Monika Kleber, Hugo Fritzsch, Isabelle Mansouri, and Rajath Vaidhish. Together, the contributions create a multifaceted image of what a good life can mean in one’s own surroundings.
Art Reflection Between Daily Life and Aesthetics
The atmosphere of the exhibition does not arise in a closed museum room but in the visible environment of vhs Freising. This proximity makes the art experience accessible and vibrant. Colors, shapes, light, and spatial effects enter into an immediate dialogue with the everyday life of the city.
The exhibition invites conscious contemplation of the works and simultaneously conveys photographic seeing. Visitors encounter a local visual language where memory, nature perception, and personal experience converge. Thus, photography becomes a medium of reflection and cultural participation.
Conclusion: Seeing Freising with New Eyes
I'm doing well here! makes visible how diversely people perceive places of well-being. The exhibition combines photography, local connections, sustainability, and cultural education into an inspiring aesthetic experience. Those who wish to experience Freising from personal, poetic, and thoughtfully composed perspectives should visit this presentation live.
