The exhibition opening – Thursday, 15 May at 8 pm.

15. 5. – 13. 6. 2025

Christoph Grill’s photographic work is a result of a change of location. What can be seen in the world is incommensurable, a never-ending project. On his exploratory journeys, he cultivates the openness of an explorer, allowing himself to be surprised by what he finds without any specific guidelines. This is, on the one hand, a conceptual exploration of what already presents itself as an image, and, on the other, of what landscapes are charged with. The focus here is primarily on the traces of political ideologies in such disturbed landscapes, the consequences of the violent interventions with which they are visibly or invisibly contaminated, and where people continue to try to live.

Depth of field is a technical terminus, which evokes »image depth« and the many layers of landscapes, as the dominant motif of this exhibition. The exploration of “lush emptiness” and the gaze into the depths characterize Christoph Grill’s photographic work: vast landscapes, as the epitome of the brutality, vulnerability, and persistence of life.

The exhibiton is supported by the Austrian cultural forum Ljubljana.
