Where Freising breathes: Photographic places of well-being
The exhibition I'm doing well here! at vhs Freising makes visible the places where people find peace, draw strength, and can be completely themselves. From October 16 to November 19, 2026, the Volkshochschule presents the best photographs from a competition that connects personal perception with cultural education and the sustainability goal of health and well-being.
Discover Freising through personal perspectives
At the center are photographic views of the Isar, its banks, and other nature spots in and around Freising. Calm water surfaces, lush greenery, and tranquil landscapes appear as visual power sources. The photographs invite focused contemplation and show how closely aesthetic experience, memory, and personal feeling are intertwined.
Between nature, architecture, and memory
Alongside nature, the architecture of the city also plays an important role. Familiar places gain a new presence through perspective, cropping, and light. The exhibition demonstrates how photography transforms everyday spaces and creates a shared city image from individual impressions.
Award-winning photographs
The first prize was awarded to Christa Hutflesz for her view from the Domberg over the city. Stephan Wittmann impressed with his insight into a personal garden paradise, and Manfred Gerber with the portrait of a Süntel beech along the Schlangenweg. Sebastian Beier brings water as a source of life into the picture. Christine Moratz and Josef Westermeier share fourth place with a capture of a special badminton game.
The presentation is complemented by photographs from Brigitte Hensel, Monika Kleber, Hugo Fritzsch, Isabelle Mansouri, and Rajath Vaidhish. This creates a multi-voiced exhibition where different photographic attitudes, materials, and image ideas meet.
Photography as cultural education
The vhs Freising dedicates its programs in 2026 to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The competition translates the theme of health and well-being into an accessible form of cultural education. The atmosphere of the exhibition is created not by a distant museum object, but by personal images of places familiar to the people in Freising.
Conclusion: A quiet art experience in everyday life
I'm doing well here! connects photography, urban perception, and social issues into an inspiring art experience. Visitors discover familiar places in Freising with new eyes and gain impulses for their own contemplation of works. Anyone wanting to experience the aesthetic experience of local photography and the various sources of strength in the city should visit the exhibition in the screen in front of the vhs building.
