Journey of discovery

Anyone who wants to travel has to be at home first. Only the departure from the usual, everyday environment and the subsequent arrival define a journey, no matter where it leads. The reasons for a departure can be manifold: curiosity, longing or the desire for self-knowledge. 

For the artists of the first stopover it is not about a departure into the unknown, as the unchartered territory on the map has long been explored. And yet they are looking for the wideopen spaces, for artistic impetus, and new sensations. They mainly travel off the beaten tourist tracks, question their own point of view, and illustrate the topographical and aesthetic diversity on paper, through photography or in videos.
