Transformations / Dialogue between self and place
In partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo
The subject of Walter Niedermayr’s work is always an environment, whether natural or artificial. The photographic image is endowed with the task of revealing the selected environment as a field of tensions, questions, enigmatic transformations the camera lens searching for fleeting, chaotic, always reticent signs. Niedermayr’s photographs and videos always aim to “show” rather than “shoot” something that indisputably sits in front of the lens but is at the same time the result of invisible, off-screen processes.
