What a View! Zeitgenössische Fotografie in Oberösterreich

What a View! Zeitgenössische Fotografie in Oberösterreich

Group exhibition

2026

Francisco Carolinum Museum, Linz, Austria

To mark the 200th anniversary of photography, the museum is showcasing contemporary photography in Upper Austria in all its diversity.

For the exhibition the curators Sandra Kratochwill and Genoveva Rückert selected my triptych Not the Same.

The works are particularly significant to me, as this was the first time I succeeded in printing photogravures directly onto 24-carat gold using my copperplate press from 1900. It took me more than two years, marked by experiments, innumerable setbacks and misprints, until I was able to produce my first photogravures on gold in 2017 and thus combine both my passions - photography and goldsmithing.
