Giancarlo Lamonaca: RAUSCHEN In a world where digital images have become the dominant form of memory, the exhibition Rauschen (Noise) asks what is being lost. These are images in a state of transition, in which reminiscences of a digital archive reveal a different form of imagery. Their disturbances generate resistance—against the claim to completeness and against the smoothness of perfected image worlds. A digital palimpsest in which memory is not preserved or discarded, but transformed. Mozzarellalight: TO FADE IN Water, a floating matter and a moving organism, moves to the center of perception. It is no longer just a simple element, but a living body that changes over time and produces unstable and silent microsystems within itself. Every moment creates a new image, like a photograph that eludes capture. An apparition that cannot be captured, but only briefly reveals itself—only to disappear again immediately. The installation will be visible mainly in the dark hours of the day, as in a photographic process in which the image slowly appears on the film.

Sun, wine, and art – the perfect way to end a warm summer day. Enjoy a glass of white wine from the Cantina Valle Isarco in the unique atmosphere of the Hofburg Brixen. After this small aperitif, explore the Diocesan Museum with its countless objects and artworks from different eras. Admire the cathedral treasure and immerse yourself in a past full of splendour and grandeur in the imperial and episcopal wings. This event takes place on three dates in July: 10 July 2025 17 July 2025 31 July 2025 It begins at 7:00 PM – however, early arrival at the Hofburg is recommended. Participation costs €20.00 per person, no registration required. Please note: the guided tour is held in German and Italian only.

Also, this year the SUMMER EMOTIONS will be back in Brixen. On four summer evenings, different establishments will be offering a variety of culinary delights and specialities, aperitifs, and cooling drinks.

The exhibition sheds light on the Peasants' War and its prehistory using archival documents from around 1500, focussing on the social, political and economic aspects of life before and during the peasant uprisings. Through the presentation of archival documents from the Diocesan Archives, works of art and everyday objects, perspectives on the Peasants' War that have been little illuminated to date are shown in order to visualise the multi-layered nature of the historical events and their complex causes. The exhibition builds a bridge between past and present and encourages reflection on the continuity of social upheaval.
