About the Work: Andreas Spiegl, cultural studies scholar

Thomas Steineder follows the route of Vienna’s two high-altitude water pipelines on foot and explores how this silent infrastructure is embedded in the landscape.

In Bildraum 01, his visual and performative exploration of these two “lines” along the kilometer-long, ever-changing landscape is on view. Diverse perspectives and varying temporalities converge here—ranging from a few steps and minutes to three months.

Thomas Steineder’s works allow viewers to experience how perception arises from the interplay of body, movement, time, and environment. In this context, humans do not appear as detached observers of the landscape, but rather as part of the very relationships and processes that give rise to the landscape in the first place.
