Idea & Concept
The project was initiated in Hamburg by Maik Gräf and Jenny Schäfer, and then further developed by Daniela Zeilinger for Camera Austria.

Working with or in photography moves between the poles of technical perfection and the attempt to break away from the line of vision, the rectangle, the material. The destructive characteristics of photography are thus not only of a content-related or formal nature, but the prerequisites of photographic processes are based in many respects on extractive and exploitative practices. The exhibition Destroying Photography, initiated by Maik Gräf and Jenny Schäfer and shown in earlier version at the Künstler*innenhaus Frise Hamburg in early 2024, brings together artistic works examining the deconstruction of technical processes, the abstraction of photographic material, and new perspectives on object, picture, and position. For Camera Austria, the exhibition has been expanded to include three artists living in Austria—Sophie Pölzl, Claudia Rohrauer, and Janine Schranz—invited to participate by Daniela Zeilinger.
