Exhibition: Zoology by Stefan Oláh

12.03.2021

Galerie rauminhalt_harald bichler presents new works by Stefan Oláh in an extensive solo exhibition from 13.03. to 16.04.2021 (opening: 12.03.2021).

Stefan Oláh is one of the most renowned Austrian photographers in the field of architectural photography. In 2014, he produced an outstanding publication for which Oláh was allowed to look into the depots of Austrian museums with his camera - a privilege, knowing how few people are allowed to enter museum storages. In a photo series begun in 2020, Oláh returned to the "archive".

This time, the focus was on the depot of the zoological collections of the University of Vienna. Not only the preparations, with their glass eyes peering through covers made of plastic film, but also their historical collection of wall charts he observed up close and used his view to reinterpret some of the sensory organs. In a conscious and intensive examination of the existing material, new views of the collection and exhibits emerged in close cooperation with the University of Vienna.
