Schöne Grüße – (dis)honest images

(dis)honest images

beauty in ugliness,

uncanny reality of human life.

against the supposed order of the body

something closer to truth, rawness and complexity.

silent performance of transformation.

nature seems synthetic

and art is instinctively honest.

reconstruct the inherited identity.

it makes you uncomfortable

thinking everything is a lie for a moment.

it’s also about humans,

everything we have done and can do and we have to live with.

Iconic drama – rage mode is on.

In collaboration with the Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab, Claudia Holzinger’s Photographic Narration in Publication Formats course created a series of DIN A6-format postcards. Following the principle of silent mail, participants develop ideas and subjects through dialogue to create a ­coherent series together. Presented as an installation in the former cashier’s hall of the Postsparkasse, postcards can be taken and sent. In this place of exchange, we ­encourage you to stay ­connected.
