Spaziergang mit Albert Hosp, Hommage auf Inge Dick

A walking tour through Stein an der Donau with Albert Hosp who recounts anecdotes about music, architecturally important buildings, courtyards and squares. Afterwards, Gerda Ridler gives a tour of the exhibition Touched by Light of Inge Dick at the State Gallery of Lower Austria. In the exhibition room, Ilma Rakusa reads from her poetry volumes and Where is the light? and Roland Dahinden performs on the trombone and Alpine horn.

Inge Dick is one of the most important artists in the field of contemporary experimental photography and film. The retrospective Touched by Light in the State Gallery of Lower Austria pays tribute to Inge Dick’s multifaceted life’s work and also celebrates the artist on her 85th birthday.

Ilma Rakusa walks the fine line between languages and cultures. She has a long-standing friendship and artistic collaboration with Inge Dick. In Rakusa’s opus magnum Where is the light? published in 2025, she looks in shock at the crisis zones in today’s world and at the same time talks of the happiness of love for family, friends, literature and art.

As a composer Roland Dahinden has a recurring interest in collaborative work with visual artists. His connection to Inge Dick is especially intense.
