The AlmResidency is an artist in residence in two huts below the Rechelkopf between Waakirchen and Lake Tegernsee in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps. Every autumn for the past eight years, it has invited four to five artists to the hundred-year-old ‘Ochsenhütte’ and the slightly higher ‘Jagaheisl’. The artists live and work there for ten days and are in direct contact with nature every day. The wood-burning stove is used to heat the room or the washing water, the water comes directly from the spring and the electricity from the solar panel on the roof, the cellar room serves as a refrigerator and you are woken up by the birds in the forest and the first rays of sunshine. The 2023 residency took place from 18 - 27 August. The artistic results are now being presented in an exhibition at Lothinger 13 Studio.
 
Sculptor Pedro Hurpia from Brazil focussed on energetic fields in the forest, which he attempted to capture in video and sound with the help of performative walks. Julika Meyer from Munich used the technique of frottage to reproduce the interfaces of uprooted trees on canvas. Sculptor Anna Lena Keller experimented with ingredients from nature to produce bioplastics. Anne Seiler devoted herself entirely to a special kind of coat dyed with natural dyes. The photographer Sophia Kesting from Leipzig scrutinised human interaction with our planet and researched the Anthropocene.
