Summary:
Negative film can only be exposed to a certain point, beyond which the photochemical process is reversed and the negative's darkest areas become light again. For Hans-Christian Schink's series 1h, a 1955 picture by Minor White, titled "Black Sun," was a source of inspiration. 1h employs an effect called real solarization.

For Hans-Christian Schink's series 1h, a 1955 picture by Minor White, titled "Black Sun," was a source of inspiration. 1h employs an effect called real solarization. For 1h, Schink deliberately chose to combine this process with a very long exposure, acheiving effects of abstraction and blur.

Summary:
The landscape photographs of Michael Reisch show nature as spookily pristine and oddly frozen. Upon closer inspection, the viewer senses that something is amiss. These landscapes are indeed based on existing places, but Reisch has processed his images digitally, and arrived at a visual effect that both fascinates and disquiets in its airless perfection.

Summary:
Walter Niedermayr (born 1952) is among Europe's finest contemporary photographers, a virtuoso in the portrayal of contemporary architecture and Alpine landscapes whose subtle handling of scale, diffuse light effects and desaturated color has been much imitated in recent years. Between 2005 and 2008, Niedermayr traveled in Iran, visiting Tehran, Isfahan, Yazd, Shiraz and other smaller cities and historical sites. His travels spurred the undertaking of a new series examining Iranian architecture in its cultural and historical context. The resulting photographs reveal a wild mingling of east and west as older buildings jostle with colorful billboards, beltways and apartment blocks that look as if they could be located anywhere in the world. As with Niedermayr's famous winter landscapes, the majestic, pale color composition of these photographs transports them far beyond mere documentary, towards a sense of tremendous scale and implied political narrative.

Summary:
Michael Schreier’s photographic art represents several years’ inquiry with particular reference to his birthplace, Vienna, Austria. His portraits and photographs of architectural details offer powerful entry into another place and another time : the Holocaust. In her essay, Falvey probes this compelling work with a discussion of the “refusal to depict what cannot or should not be represented realistically; an art of respectful silence before sublime history.” Schreier’s work navigates these troubled aesthetic waters. In English and French.
