Welcome to the exhibition ‘Between reality & vision: Rheinhessen beyond the obvious’

In a world of constant change, we explore the hidden facets of the Rheinhessen landscape. Let yourself be captured by the magic of the surroundings, discover new perspectives and feel the depth of the moment before it fades away.

This exhibition offers you the opportunity to experience the familiar from a new perspective, highlighting the fleeting beauty and interplay of light and colour in abstract photographs. Join us on a visual journey that honours both the continuity and changeability of our familiar surroundings.

Rheinhessen's changing soul

This exhibition offers you the opportunity to experience the familiar from a new perspective, highlighting the fleeting beauty and interplay of light and colour in abstract photographs. Join us on a visual journey that honours both the continuity and changeability of our familiar surroundings.

Transformation in flux:
Experience the natural dynamics of our vineyards and landscapes. My photographs reflect the subtle changes that you will feel and experience again and again when you are out and about in the vineyards. As a cultural and wine ambassador, I regularly accompany guests through these landscapes and observe how the atmosphere of the region touches and inspires each visitor in their own unique way.

Wine as a contemporary witness:
Wine culture is at the heart of the essence of Rheinhessen. As a participant in international tastings, I experience how wine tells stories of soil and climate, of people and traditions. These stories can be found in each of my pictures and reflect the deep connection that many of us feel for this cultural landscape.

Prospects for a vibrant region:
Innovation and tradition are not opposites in Rheinhessen. As a member of the IHK Mainz, I see every day how the two interact and characterise our region. This exhibition opens up new perspectives on familiar surroundings and invites you to experience Rheinhessen with open senses.

Immerse yourself in a visual journey that captures the essence of a region that moves and connects us all.

About the artist

creative-photography-artist-portrait-marion-rockstroh-kruft

My name is Marion Rockstroh-Kruft. In my photography I explore the complexity of perception. My pictures thematise the subjectivity and transience of the moment as well as the tension between personal experience and objective reality. In a constantly changing world, I dedicate myself to the ‘Tension field of perception between transformation and uncertainty’. Through techniques such as the Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) I capture the fluid nature of reality and invite you to discover your own emotions and interpretations in my work.

My work is characterised by a deep connection to intuition - it acts as a bridge between you as the viewer and the image. This intuitive approach creates space for personal interpretations and experiences that go beyond the purely visible.

I want to show you the world from unique perspectives and encourage you to appreciate the diversity of perception. My photography opens up a new perspective on the familiar - as if you were really seeing it for the first time.

In a world of constant change, we explore the hidden facets of the Rheinhessen landscape. Let yourself be captured by the magic of the surroundings, discover new perspectives and feel the depth of the moment before it fades away.

I look forward to inspiring you with my pictures!
