Under the title “Zoology” gallery rauminhalt_harald bichler will present new works by Stefan Oláh in an extensive solo exhibition from 13.03. to 16.04.2021 (opening: 12.03.2021).
Stefan Oláh is one of the most renowned Austrian photographers in the field of architectural photography. In 2014, he produced an outstanding publication for which Oláh was allowed to look into the depots of Austrian museums with his camera – a privilege, knowing how few people are allowed to enter museum storages. In a photo series started in 2020, Oláh returned to the “archive” again.
This time, the depot of the zoological collections of the University of Vienna was in focus. Not only the preparations, with their glass eyes peering through covers made of plastic film, but also their historical collection of wall charts he observed up close and used his view to reinterpret some of the sensory organs. In a careful and intensive examination of the existing material, new views of the collection and objects were generated in a close cooperation with the University of Vienna.
