Retrospective 2014
27 – 30 November 2014
New Perspectives on Photography
Photography is one of the youngest and, at the same time, most exciting art forms: a pictorial language that draws on the tension between the two seemingly opposing poles of voyeurism and exhibitionism. It produces and leaves behind emotions; it moves, unsettles, and attracts. With its intense atmosphere, photography inspires, stimulates, and opens the way for critical dialogue.
At the event photo::vienna 2014 art photography, architecture and portrait photography, and commercial, editorial, and journalistic photography are all gathered together under the heading “applied photography.” The event thus serves equally as a showcase for the general public and as a forum for professionals on the lookout for new trends and developments.
Sharpening Sensitivity in Seeing
As the first retrospective for contemporary photography from Austria, photo::vienna presents a wide overview of what makes photography so exciting and will thus be of great interest to galerists, curators, museum designers, collectors, art buyers, agency art directors, photo editors, etc. The platform also provides a site for the exchange of interest and ideas amongst the community of photo fans at large.
A select jury serves as the guarantor for the high level of photographic work shown at photo::vienna:
