A reading that brings images and biographies under the skin
On Saturday, June 6, 2026, a space for art, memory, and conversation opens in Tutzing: Gudrun Holtz presents her photo project Scars on the Skin and in the Soul as a reading and vernissage. The evening connects literary language with photographic presence and creates an intense experience between exhibition, text, and author encounter.
When scars become stories
Holtz works on a material that points far beyond the classical reading. Since 2011, photographs and accompanying texts have emerged about people whose scars tell stories of illness, operations, injuries, and life fractures. The images do not seek effect, but rather accuracy of gaze. This is precisely where their literary quality lies: in the tentative storytelling, in the respect for experience, in the space for a voice that does not smooth out but makes visible.
Reading atmosphere with closeness and stance
The event at Lebensraum, Klenzestrasse 24 in Tutzing promises an intimate atmosphere. The announced reading from the photo book begins at 6:30 PM, the event itself runs from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. The format combines vernissage and reading into a cultural evening where language, image, and personal story intertwine. Those who appreciate literary work at the intersection of documentation and empathy will find here an impressive example of narrative condensation.
Between photo book and cultural discourse
Holtz connects journalistic experience, artistic practice, and societal observation. Her work addresses physicality, vulnerability, and dignity, thereby opening a discourse that is already central in contemporary literature and art. The photo book gives space to the portrayed individuals, without pathos and without loss of distance. This very tension between precision and empathy makes the evening particularly appealing for literature lovers, culture enthusiasts, and visitors with a sense for sophisticated image-text works.
Conclusion: An evening for all seeking literary and visual intensity
Whoever comes to Tutzing on June 6, 2026, will experience not an ordinary reading, but a touching literary experience between exhibition and conversation. Scars on the Skin and in the Soul promises an evening that resonates, poses questions, and sharpens the view of human experience. Experiencing this event live is worthwhile for all who understand art as encounter.
