“‘Surrt lauter, wenn’s schneit”

(eng: The buzzing is louder when it snows; Photobook)

Is Bavarian culture under threat? This photo project dives into the heart of the Hallertau, Bavaria’s hop-growing region, to explore this question. Against a backdrop of rural traditions and modern encroachment, it captures an authentic view of life in small villages like Hettenkirchen, where the old and new exist in a delicate balance. Through black-and-white images, the project reveals moments that defy the typical pastoral stereotype, instead painting a complex portrait of a changing countryside. A look beyond the postcard Bavaria, this work invites you to see the land as it really is — grounded, enduring, and quietly buzzing beneath the surface. ︎︎︎

Capitalism aims for growth and justifies itself by claiming it aligns with human nature: to always crave more. Hunting reflects this as rare animals are often killed for prestige, and trophy hunting is seen as selfish. While some view it as a hobby, cruel practices such as hounding harm the sport's image. Many hunters defend it as necessary to regulate wild animal populations and for high-quality food. However, animal protection groups argue that human influence can unbalance ecosystems and criticize the brutal treatment of animals and trophy culture. ︎︎︎
