Ferdinand Aichhorn – Erzähler textiler Geschichten

In 1977, Ferdinand Aichhorn traveled to Indonesia for the first time and discovered his love for the meticulously handcrafted textiles of the island of Bali. It wasn’t just the textiles and their techniques that captivated him, but also the people. His fascination soon led him to explore other countries in the Asian region, where he encountered the unique aspects of textile art.

Hans-Peter Traunig meets Ferdinand Aichhorn in his textile-filled surroundings on Salzburg's Steingasse for an interview. They discuss travel, people, and craftsmanship—about collecting and the allure of textile art from India and Southeast Asia, and how this passion inspires new creations.
