14.05.2024 - 24.11.2024 ,
Literaturhaus München (House of Literature Munich)
She is an icon of 20th century literary history, every new publication from her estate is an event, the fascination of her work and her person remains unbroken: Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-1973), the great Austrian poet, is being honoured for the first time in a comprehensive exhibition in Munich.
To this day, she continues to inspire biographers and filmmakers, literary scholars and generations of readers worldwide. In cooperation with the Austrian National Library, the Literaturhaus München (House of Literature Munich) is showing previously unpublished material from her estate, including letters from Max Frisch, Henry Kissinger, Marie Luise Kaschnitz and Nelly Sachs. Numerous original manuscripts, personal items such as her typewriter and wardrobe, rare audio and film documents show how Ingeborg Bachmann's life followed an aesthetic concept that is inseparable from her work. Video commentaries by contemporary Bachmann experts bear witness to the topicality and enduring impact of her texts.
The five stations of the exhibition focus on the central works, stories, volumes of poetry and the only novel "Malina". The exhibition shows Ingeborg Bachmann as a self-confident and vulnerable artist, as an early media star and style icon, and as a political writer.
