BRETAGNE mit Hartmut & Eli Krinitz
BRETAGNE - Land in the Sea
A live presentation by Hartmut Krinitz
Deep in the west of Europe lies a region shaped by the sea: Brittany. Countless lighthouses dot the coast, endless sandy beaches transform with the rhythm of Europe's highest tidal range, islands like Ouessant and Belle-Ile defy the force of winter storms, fishing villages huddle in deep coves, and cities like Saint-Malo, Brest, and Concarneau tell the story of human life by and with the sea.
Special regions attract unique characters, and Brittany is no exception: fishermen, oyster farmers, salt harvesters, druids, cider producers, artists, embroiderers, lighthouse "keepers," and dropouts allowed me insights into their lives.
Inland, the mythical forests of Brocéliande and Huelgoat stretch, and scattered across the land, megalithic sites like Carnac or Gavrinis testify that we humans have always sought contact with the divine.
Eli and Hartmut Krinitz explored the coast on board a traditional sailing ship, navigated the "Canal de Nantes à Brest" with a Penichette, a cabin boat flanked by old trees, and circled the Crozon Peninsula on the long-distance hiking trail GR34.
Ultimately, however, all roads lead to the sea in Brittany and eventually to Finistère, to the end of the world: there, where everything begins.
Hartmut Krinitz spent more than a year in Brittany and combines high-quality photography, authentic music, excerpts of literature, original sounds, and a well-founded live commentary in his Multivision to create a unique style.
Admission to the foyer starts at 6:45 pm.
