The photo series ”Plantsch!” is intended to capture Viennese bathing culture in Gänsehäufel through the eyes of an ”imported Viennese”. Wiener Freibäder (outdoor
pools) are not only soaked in history and unique, they are also closely linked to the city and its culture. A glimpse into the city’s largest outdoor Freibad exposes the Viennese soul as it
relaxes on summer vacation. Through 53 visits in the last season, I could observe the rich and peculiar daily life in Gänsehäufel. During the realisation of this project, I alternated two
opposite approaches: On the one hand I built a trusted bound with the most loyal regular guests. On the other hand, I observed daily visitors in distance. This resulted in a mixture of posed and
intimate portraits with narrative compositions of spontaneous scenes.

An expedition leads into the unknown studio landscape of the OpenCave, their tectonics, the structure of their deposits, layers, crystallizations and possibly
existing cavities are the focus of a longer stay. The strategy and tools of the soil investigations are based on the structural characteristics of this area, form and decide themselves on the
spot. the entirety of what is found is part of the earth's crust. Soil/Sample/Set/Possibly/Mineral Resources/Resources we will see e.d gfrerer aug. 2022
