In the Grip of the Wilderness: A Visual Journey Through Mongolia
On October 20, 2026, Augustinum Braunschweig invites you to an impressive art experience that blends nature photography, travel storytelling, and cultural education. In her multi-vision show In the Grip of the Wilderness – Mongolia, Beate Oswald takes the audience into remote landscapes, nomadic lifestyles, and fascinating animal encounters at the edge of the world.
Between Steppe, Altai, and Endless Vastness
Mongolia appears in Beate Oswald's photographic storytelling as a space of great contrasts: vast steppes, barren mountain landscapes, and a harsh climate shape the atmosphere of this audiovisual evening. Breathtaking photographs and short videos connect aesthetic experience with informed nature observation, making the landscape almost physically tangible.
Eagle Hunters and Nomadic Traditions
In the far west of the country, the multi-vision encounters eagle hunters, whose families have lived and hunted with golden eagles for generations. The birds are not just mere motifs but close companions and part of a tradition-rich cultural practice. Oswald's artistic reflection focuses on the connection between humans, animals, and landscapes, opening perspectives on a life of deprivation as nomads.
Manul and Snow Leopard: Animal Photography with Patience
A special emphasis is placed on animal photography. In the wide steppes lives the Manul, a rare wildcat with an expressive physiognomy. In the Altai Mountains, the arduous search continues for the mystical snow leopard. The images tell stories of patience, preparation, and the rare moment when wilderness and the photographic gaze meet.
The Art of Visual Storytelling
For decades, Beate Oswald has combined her passion for nature, travel, and photography with the art of visual storytelling. Journeys to more than 65 countries, intense encounters with people and animals, as well as her work as a nature photographer, shape her live multi-visions. The focus is not only on the spectacular image but also on a respectful approach to landscapes, cultures, and the vulnerability of our planet.
Conclusion: An Evening for Curious Eyes
In the Grip of the Wilderness – Mongolia promises an inspiring connection of nature photography, travel reports, short films, and personal storytelling. Art enthusiasts, photography lovers, and friends of extraordinary travel images will experience an evening that imparts knowledge and sharpens the view for the beauty of remote habitats. Those who wish to not only see Mongolia but also feel its vastness, silence, and wildness should experience this art experience live at Augustinum Braunschweig.
