“Perhaps I’ll take a wrong turn on my way to work and head off towards the sea”.
Images of longing, many of the sea, of time out and relaxation… an escape from everyday life, all captured in analog photography, as if to cling to the memories of beautiful, carefree, free and wild times. Photographs as a means of preserving a time when “everything was still real”.
When all the seasons still existed and we hadn’t yet destroyed habitats or become estranged from the land we once roamed.
The desire for contact with nature remains, and collecting memories is an attempt to freeze the world – or perhaps just pause it briefly. To escape the madness and pause for a moment – that’s what these images convey!
On the Tuesday, 05.12.2026 form 12:00 – 17:00 there will be OPEN HOUSE with Fischtaschen (www.fishyourbag.at)
