Castles, Images, Encounters: An Evening for Eye and Spirit

A literary-photographic evening with Simon H. Süß takes you into the castle landscape of the Upper Palatinate: a concentrated literary experience where book aesthetics, linguistic art, and historical knowledge merge into a dense reading atmosphere.

The Voice of the Landscape

Between rock and river valley, Süß's photographs unfold a quiet drama: ruins speak of power and transience, of flight and protection. Precisely placed text passages frame the images – a dialogue of photography and literature that makes the narrative depth of the region palpable.

Style, Genre, Quality

Süß works documentarily-poetically. Drone perspectives, detail studies, panoramas: the formal variety creates an aesthetic tension that the author grounds with cultural-historical references. This results in a classification of the Upper Palatinate as a cultural landscape with literary quality.

Author Encounter at the Cultural Castle

In the intimate setting of the Cultural Castle Theuern, language, voice, and sequence of images condense into a sensory presentation. Doors open at 6:30 PM; the event begins at 7:00 PM and lasts until 8:30 PM. Tickets are available at the box office.

Context and Discourse

From the photo books about The Upper Palatinate and Castles of the Upper Palatinate, a cultural-historical perspective on identity, home, and change emerges. Süß's work is part of the current discourse on regional narratives – between aesthetics, topography, and memory culture.

Conclusion

A concentrated evening is expected on language, light, and landscape: see Upper Palatinate castles anew, hear history, and feel spaces. Experience this author encounter live and discover the Upper Palatinate in a new light.
