Dark Paths - Dark Thoughts

The images depict the "dark thoughts" of depressed individuals – expressed through somber black-and-white photographs. Dieter Bornemann himself was confronted with the effects of the illness in his personal environment from a young age. The strong vignetting of the images represents the severely restricted and narrowed view of reality that accompanies this illness. The photographs are intended not only as a purely artistic engagement with this topic but also, through accompanying texts, to provide information for those affected or their relatives. Dieter Bornemann, born in 1967 in Graz, has transitioned from analog press photography to artistic work with digital images. He attended the New York Film Academy, is a graduate of the Vienna School of Photography, and is a member of "fotoK – Association for Art and Photography" and "IG Bildende Kunst," the interest group for visual artists in Austria. In 2017, Bornemann was appointed to the jury for the Federal Prize of Austrian Professional Photographers, and since 2019, he has been the chair of the jury. He currently lives and works in Vienna. Open: every Thursday until 6:00 PM, on all event days from 2:00 PM, and at any time by appointment. Admission free!
