Damaso Reyes
The images for this exhibition will be taken from the work of photojournalist Damaso Reyes’ current project The Europeans which is examining how Europe is changing as the E.U. expands and integrates. The images presented during this exhibition will document life in Vienna in all its diversity.
Images of asylum seekers and high society as well as everyday life on the streets of Austria’s capital city will show Vienna from the perspective of an outsider looking in. These photographs explore Vienna’s rich cultural traditions as well as the issues which are straining Viennese and Austrian society. Working in black and white Reyes creates images which are not simply snap shots of a moment but powerful historical documents.
