Regina Anzenberger: The Australian Journey

Opening and book presentation: May 8, 2025 at 7 pm

The photographs for Regina Anzenberger’s new book and exhibition were taken during a trip through Tasmania in March 2024. Fascinated by the forms of nature, the artist photographically captures landscapes, riverbeds, stones, leaves, trees and seahorses. The resulting instant photographs do not stand on their own, but rather act as a starting point for Anzenberger’s artistic work. She expands her photographs with painterly and graphic representations that expand on the motifs found. They do not stick to the boundaries of photography, but rather go beyond them and imaginatively continue the existing motif. These extensions give the photographs a new dimension and offer the viewer a poetic interpretation of the natural conditions. Regina Anzenberger also integrates finds from nature, which create a symbolic connection to the place of origin. The impressions that would otherwise only be captured in two dimensions are enhanced by three-dimensional artifacts.
