Spurensuche
September, 25 – Dezember, 31 2018
In the autumn of 2018, we presented our exhibition SPURENSUCHE 2018 at the Viennese bookshop Lia Wolf Cabinett: that summer, preparing for the show, marked the first time we selected a group of images from our collection that featured businesses which no longer existed at that time. We sought out their locations and, in most cases, were able to photographically document the conditions we found there. The images of the old businesses were juxtaposed with the new situations; a period of two to six years separated the images being compared.
