Sebastian Wehrle is a name that is long known beyond the borders of the Black Forest. His impressive traditional costume photos adorn living rooms, doctor's offices, bank branches, and screensavers – they are simply trendy. As a true child of the region who grew up in Simonswald, Wehrle continues to find 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.
"A 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, taking us to exotic places and distant landscapes through impressive travel images. But the deeper we delve into the artworks, the closer we come to a special home – the Black Forest.
The exhibition spans from a global perspective to the familiar images of the artist Sebastian Wehrle's local surroundings. After encountering the world in all its diversity and beauty, we find ourselves in the forests and meadows of the Black Forest and in the various artworks of traditional costumes and modernity. The traditional clothing and distinctive motifs speak of pride, tradition, and different perspectives.
"A Journey to Home" also showcases a journey through the art of Sebastian Wehrle, demonstrating that home is not only a geographical place but a feeling that resides within us all. Whether in a distant land or in familiar surroundings, the exhibition invites you to contemplate the meaning of home and rediscover it in the images, traditions, and cultures. Immerse yourself in this artistic journey and experience Sebastian Wehrle's art in all its facets.
