‘Unseen Places’: Exploring the Hidden Dimensions in Architectural and Landscape Photography | with Gregor Sailer
In the uncharted territories of Siberia, across the majestic Alps or along the Polar Silk Road: The internationally renowned Austrian photographer Gregor Sailer (*1980) takes the art of landscape and architectural photography to its absolute limits, realizing his projects in the most remote and inhospitable parts of the world. Surreal and stark at the same time, his work focuses on the political, economic and social implications of large-scale architectural projects.
We are pleased to announce a 3-day photography workshop with Gregor Sailer from 26 September to 3 October. Under the theme “Unseen Places”, 12 outstanding young photographers will be invited to develop their own project in the field of landscape & architectural photography. Participants will be guided to develop and realize an artistically relevant concept. The best works will be published on the Austrian Embassy’s social media channels.
