Exploring New Photography Publications at FOTOHOF in Salzburg
For those interested in contemporary photographic works, publishing, and artist discourse, FOTOHOF in Salzburg regularly hosts specialized events that bring creators and audiences together. An upcoming book talk event highlights a diverse selection of recent publications released through the FOTOHOF>EDITION program, featuring artist discussions and deep dives into contemporary photo books.
What to Expect at the Upcoming Book Presentations
The scheduled evening brings together several distinct photographic projects and their creators for conversation. Attendees can look forward to insights into physical photobooks, historical documentation, and conceptual approaches to the medium.
- Eric Asamoah – Here, Nowhere Else: This work explores the lives of boxers in Jamestown, Accra, framing the sport as a metaphor for resilience, vulnerability, and self-determination. The artist discusses the long-term dialogue behind the images with Michael Mauracher.
- Caroline Heider – Balance Studies: Drawing inspiration from an uncompleted 1933 manual by Lucia Moholy, this conceptual photobook addresses the traditions of photographic guides, shifting the historical male perspective toward a contemporary female authorship. Heider is in conversation with Mateusz Dworczyk.
- Michael Ponstingl – Sozialreportage als Medienspektakel: Focusing on early 20th-century social reporting by Emil Kläger and Hermann Drawe, photo-historian Michael Ponstingl examines the roots of photography used as an agent for social awareness and its evolution across media formats, in conversation with Birgit Sattlecker.
- Florian Rainer – Tagada: Captured during the summer of 2020, this series documents Viennese youths seeking escapism and community on the Prater's Tagada ride amidst pandemic restrictions. Rainer discusses the work with Peter Schreiner.
