The Kunstmuseum Luzern is hosting an exhibition by Dominik Zietlow titled “Nur die Berge begegnen sich nie,” following his receipt of the Manor Kunstpreis Zentralschweiz. The exhibition features Zietlow’s latest works related to Lucerne, blending performative and documentary approaches. His work, including the 2026 film “Holz, aus dem die Menschen sind,” explores themes of human connection and mortality, utilizing elements such as the sound of a rattle and references to the Dance of Death cycle on the Spreuer Bridge.

The exhibition examines 100 years of photojournalism and how images from magazines and mass media shape collective memory.
