Opening: »Unbekannt – Anonymous Views of Salzburg«

Cities are both real and imaginary places. Their physical realities are closely linked to an imaginary dimension, which is fed not least by their images. The exhibition »Unknown – Anonymous Views of Salzburg« is dedicated to those characteristics of photography that provide us with a seemingly concrete and at the same time blurred idea of historical reality. As part of the »Salzburg Museum – Guest Performance« cooperation, FOTOHOF is showing works by anonymous authors from the Salzburg Museum’s photo collection. Looking at Salzburg in the past, reflections on the strange role of photography as a medium of documentation, a substitute for memory and a much-disputed art form are initiated.
