If freedom and equal rights of cultural or religious minorities are threatened by political power, fleeing over the mountains to a safer region or into the mountains as a “natural exile” has been a common way out throughout history. This has not changed in the last 500 years until today's digital age.

The historical escape routes of Michael Gaismair and his army in 1525/26 as well as more recent escape routes from the 20th/21st century, which are shown in the exhibition in the form of pictures and photographs, are geographically divided into two presentation locations to the west and east of Bruneck: at LUMEN. Museum of Mountain Photography at Kronplatz focuses on Graubünden/Gadertal/Padua and Karwendel/Pyrenees/Western Alps, while at Museum Burg Heinfels the focus is on Zillertal/Salzburg/East Tyrol and Krimmler Tauern/Strandzha Mountains/Kurdistan.

Curators of the exhibition:
Dr. Richard Piock, President of the association Tiroler Photoarchiv TAP
Dr. Martin Kofler, Director at Tiroler Photoarchiv TAP
