Schwechat Ruler
Light Scribe
A dark room, where lasers wrote in light rays place names on all surfaces, while loud music kind of detached the visitors from the surroundings – phantastic!

Justinian’s Heritage
The opening topic of the 2012 Biennnale was “common ground”, and so the copper cube featured latin words taken from the institutio iustinianis, one of the first definitions of public trust ressources. This idea has certainly resonated well in Europe, where fragments of rural “Allmende”, common lands, still can be found in some places. One…
Exhibition Opening
This evening we had the opening of our group exhibition in the former fire brigade’s building. A good crowd was there to hear only short speeches and to enjoy the images and conversations with us photographers. I am proud to say that the “forcole” were well recognized. Of course the large size of the prints…

Moorish-Venetian
Venice, Calle S. Bernardo In earlier times, such a subject would have called for a view camera in order to remove negative perspective effects on the verticals. But how would you have set up such gear from a boat? In my film days I had done perspective correction under the enlarger (not really successfully, as…
