Freistadt2

Freistadt2 is, in a sense, a double portrait of the city of Freistadt (AT), where I lived and worked for two weeks on the occasion of the 800-year anniversary of the city. During this time I photographed paintings, graphics and photographs of Freistadt in private households, offices and restaurants. Thus, I explored the town behind its facades and gained insights that I would not have made otherwise. The documented banality of everyday life deconstructs the romanticized gaze on the medieval city.
