INSIGHTS & STORIES
This page is directly linked to my Instagram, giving you an insight into my life and
my passion for travelling, art and culture (all photos are mine).
Jean Arp, Constellations, 1959
Lithography.
A pioneer of abstract art, Jean (Hans) Arp was a co-founder of the Dada movement and was also closely associated with Surrealism and Constructivism. In his collages, reliefs, and sculptures, he often worked with found materials such as scraps of paper and fabric, embracing chance and spontaneity as central elements of his artistic practice.

Lakeside serenity, Thai flavors — moments to be remembered 🌸
A three-girls short escape to Meisterschwanden, @seeroseresort A beautiful room with a great lake view over Lake Hallwil, and that effortless feeling of being exactly where we needed to be.
We shared some of the best flavors at the Restaurant Samui Thai, each dish thoughtfully prepared, rich, and full of character.
Grateful for these moments.
Always a highlight: the Museum @friederburda ✨
The current exhibition, “RIVALING REALITY – 60 Years of Photorealism,” is absolutely worth seeing and runs until August 2, 2026.
More than 90 masterpieces showcase the evolution of Photorealism and Hyperrealism from the 1960s to the present day. It’s fascinating how detailed and illusionistic these works are — almost like photographs.
I am impressed by works from Chuck Close, Ralph Goings, Charles Bell, Robert Cottingham, Karin Kneffel, Alexandra Averbach, Roberto Bernardi, Johannes Müller-Franken, Ben Johnson, Raphaella Spence, and many other outstanding artists.
An absolute must for art lovers 🎨✨

The artist @christophehohler explores the human soul through powerful, theatrical painting. His works reveal fragility, contradiction, forgiveness, fear, desire, and hope. Between shadow and light, each scene becomes a reflection of our shared humanity.
Exhibition at Temple Neuf, Strasbourg (April 2026).
At the Wine & Art Relais Vallombrosa, you can discover an art trail that winds through the vineyards, offering stunning panoramic views. This approximately 1 km path features around 20 contemporary artworks by local and international artists – including wooden sculptures and installations that explore the relationship between humans and nature, playing beautifully with light and shadow.
Artists: Edgardo Ratti, Sferico, Paolo Bellini, Magda Piffaretti Ragazzi, Ivo Soldini, Petra Weiss, Giorgio Eros Morandini, Alex Dorici, Klaus Prior, Selim Abdullah, Nag Arnoldi, Alex Dorici, Klaus Prior, Robert Lienhard, …
Ticino (Malcantone): in Castelrotto, lies the Wine & Art Relais Vallombrosa – a place that is so much more than just a hotel.
Here, wine and art come together: the lovingly restored estate blends winemaking with contemporary art, featuring installations and sculptures both outdoors and within the rooms.
🎨 The rooms are designed with works by local and Ticino-based artists – such as the artist rooms dedicated to Hans Kammermann and Claudio Taddei.
🍷 The wines reflect the warm Ticino climate, the long-standing Merlot tradition, and the distinctive terroir of the Malcantone region.
Some stories never really end—they just change their form.
A voice that challenges power is still unsettling.Truth still makes people uncomfortable.And fear still has the power to turn crowds against what they once admired.
We like to believe we would have stood on the “right side” of history. But history is rarely that clear in the moment.
Even today, people are judged quickly, silenced easily, and misunderstood deeply. Not always because they are wrong—but because they disrupt what feels safe.
And yet, there is something enduring in all of this: The quiet strength of those who remain true, even when it costs them everything.
Maybe the real question isn’t what happened back then—but who we choose to be when faced with the same patterns today.
Because truth still stands. Even when the world turns away.
An inch from the Italian border, between river, hill, and road, they rest in silence — these pipes, marked by smoke and by hands long gone. In the old woodworking shop, every piece breathes memory, as if the wood itself had kept stories that can only truly be heard in the quiet.

I went to the bakery in Gattikon to buy bread. Came home with UrDinkel flour instead… and baked my own.
Once you realise the grain from @lindmuehle_freizeitbackshop has been milled there since 1363 (and it’s already the 17th generation!), suddenly your bread feels very… historic.
Also: UrDinkel = real old-school Swiss spelt. No modern wheat tricks, just ancient grain doing its thing. 💪🌾

Flowers for Art – a project by @flowerstoarts and the @aargauerkunsthaus
Renowned florists and floral designers enter into a creative dialogue with artworks from the collection of the Aargauer Kunsthaus. Their floral interpretations reflect the forms, colours, and moods of the artworks – or respond to them with entirely new ideas. The result is a temporary exhibition that captivates and surprises 🌸🎨

Discover something new again and again – look up, it’s getting interesting. 👀⏰ The clock of the Bullinger Church in Zurich is more than a timepiece.
Designed by artist @olga.titus as part of a Kunst am Bau project, its iridescent dials reflect changing colors and intensities depending on sunlight and viewing angle.
A reminder that time, light, and perspective are always in motion. ✨🎨
After an inspiring evening at Solothurn Filmtage, listening to thoughtful reflections on culture, society, and storytelling, I walked home through the foggy streets of Solothurn — the city wrapped in mystery, as if time itself was pausing.
It made me reflect on humanity and our future. Stories shape who we are, how we see each other, and the world we build together. By engaging with film, art, music, theater, and all forms of cultural expression, we don’t just consume narratives — we participate in them. We question history, explore perspectives, and imagine new possibilities for ourselves and society.
The question isn’t just what stories will be told — but which stories will we choose to live, to honor, and to shape. Our future depends on it. ✨
21.01.2026: Opening of the 61st Solothurn Filmtage ✨🎬 A special evening with thoughtful and inspiring opening remarks from the organizers about storytelling and the power of narratives — perfectly setting the stage for the films ahead.
Earlier, Federal Councillor Elisabeth Baume-Schneider spoke about the importance of culture for society and the central role of the SRG: to inform, provide context, connect people, and deliver films, series, and cultural content that tell stories and shape identity. Her speech was a strong and passionate argument for why the halving initiative should be clearly rejected (08.03.2026).
The Narrative by Bernard Weber & Martin Schilt tells how former UBS trader Kweku Adoboli became a media and societal scapegoat after a multi-billion-dollar loss. A compelling documentary that questions who controls the story — a timely reminder of the importance of narratives in times of uncertainty, fake news, and global power struggles.
@sofilmtage celebrate Swiss cinema and storytelling, uniting filmmakers and audiences to reflect on culture and society. 21–28 January 2026 🎬
This week strolling through Solothurn — what a beautiful city. ✨ Wrapped in heavy fog, it felt even more mysterious. Here for the opening week of Solothurn Filmtage 🎬
Solothurn is one of Switzerland’s oldest cities, known for its elegant baroque architecture and its special connection to the number eleven. Set along the Aare River at the foot of the Jura mountains, it blends history, calm rhythm, and quiet charm in every street and square.

Cumulus. Designed by @mendelheit and produced at @ciav_meisenthal
Cumulus embodies the art of living as a daydreamer — head in the clouds, feet anchored to the world.
Formed through breath, heat, and movement, the glass cloud reveals the dialogue between water and air, density and transparency, motion and stillness.
Born from earth, shaped by fire, and carried by air, Cumulus becomes a quiet reflection on what the universe offers us — fleeting forms, natural balance, and beauty found in impermanence.
