Heinrich Kühn :: Portrait of the Artist’s Son, Walter, ca. 1905 / source
Heinrich Kühn was one of the most influential amateur photographers in Vienna. Careful attention is paid to the repetition of circular shapes – Walter’s glasses, hat, coat buttons – that punctuate the broader expanses of dark or light earth-toned patches of colour. The tone in the photograph is the result of a complex printing process in which pigment was adhered to the surface of the paper through exposure to light.

Valie Export* :: Encirclement, from ‘Körperkonfigurationen’ (Body Configurations), 1972-76. In this series the artist positioned herself in several points of the city of Wien and mimed through her body the built environment immediately around. Her actions are the representation of her own states of mind, communicated by her postures and gestures. Through a performance that assumes the form of an apparently passive adaptation to the configuration of the city or the landscape, the artist reacts to the built environment in a completely different way than the one implied by the urban design.
