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.
