The exhibition 'photography as sculpture sculpture as photography' delves into artworks that defy easy categorization, existing dynamically between photographic and sculptural forms. These pieces interfere with space, provoke thought, and set perceptions in motion. Despite their individual differences in content and aesthetics, they share a common thread: a critical reflection on human perception and its mediation through various artistic techniques. The exhibition features artistic positions from the late 1960s to the present, with a particular emphasis on the Viennese art scene, fostering a dialogue that examines the interaction between a photographic approach and sculptural, spatial dimensions. Themes explored include conceptual media analysis, performative self-staging, the photographic gesture, and the creation of complex, interwoven spatial arrangements. The selected photographic objects, video sculptures, and room installations showcase the process of images taking shape, offering a perspective akin to a new, three-dimensional collage.
