The exhibition 'FAVORITE FALL' is dedicated to autumnal motifs, presenting a curated selection of photographic art that captures the essence of the season. Visitors can expect to see colourful deciduous forests, harvested fields, ripe sunflowers and apples, as well as scenes from coffee houses and individuals depicted in autumnal attire. The display delves into central approaches within photographic art, highlighting detailed reproductions of specific elements like landscape and seasonal moods, alongside abstracting tendencies and alienation effects that encourage new interpretations.

The featured artists include Alfons Walde, Andre Kertesz, Franz Hubmann, Mario Giacomelli, Padhi Frieberger, Cora Pongracz, Takeushi Toshinobu, David LaChapelle, Rita Nowak, and Anna Breit.
