#pinkenstein
Nicholas Treadwell, British gallerist, curator and artist, became widely known for his concept of Superhumanism — a curatorial stance that foregrounded the everyday, the bodily and the social over abstraction and distance.
From the 1990s onward, Treadwell spent extended periods in Aigen-Schlägl (Upper Austria), where he transformed a former courthouse and prison into a combined home, studio and exhibition space. A building once designed for discipline and confinement turned into an unlikely cultural hub — hosting exhibitions, parties, spontaneous gatherings and encounters between international and regional artists.
The photographs capture the lived in-between space: part domestic interior, part studio, part social event. The former prison became a quietly ironic setting — a structure built for control now animated by conversation, improvisation and creative exchange.
What had once held bodies in place now held ideas in motion.
#analog pokémon go
Echoing Pokémon Go, 3D archery targets set up in forest landscapes appear as animals fixed in position, waiting to be targeted. Detached from the moment of action, they seem to float between game, simulation, and still life.
The title refers to augmented reality hunting and the forest as a low-tech interface. It reflects on play and projection, as well as on how digital simulation is rooted in much older analog practices.
#roundups
Roundups documents temporary birthday installations in rural Upper Austria — improvised public gestures that mark life milestones. Often set up in front of farmhouses or along village roads, these displays feature handmade figures and personal symbols, as well as modified traffic signs referencing both age and speed.
The installations only exist for a short time before being dismantled. Captured in passing, often during my daily route to work, they reveal a folk form of public staging.
This series reflects on transience, rituals and the creativity of rural culture, which is often overlooked.
