HUNDERTWASSER’s Paradise – Places Of Life Photographs by Erika Schmied
From 12 June 2003 to 31 August 2003
KunstHausWien This joint exhibition of more than 250 photographs combined for the first time two major photography series by Erika Schmied, creating an impressive juxtaposition. For many years, photographer Erika Schmied followed the footsteps of two prominent Austrians who could not have been more diverse. “Hundertwasser’s Paradise – Places Of Life” focused on the places which became the artist’s home. In a farm house in the Normandy, a small sawmill in the Waldviertel, Lower Austria, a garden in Venice, at his property in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, and last but not least in a small roof apartment at the KunstHausWien did he settle, in order to devote himself to his dreams in the mids of spontaneous vegetation. “Bernhard’s Austria – Scenes From His Books” traced the locations of Thomas Bernhard’s books and documented them in the photographs. The following books accompanied the exhibition: |
