Sophie Thun / Thomas Freiler

About

The often overlooked production process behind analog technology becomes the motif in Sophie Thun and Thomas Freiler’s work—be it through the “analysis or deconstruction of photographic images” (Freiler) or the physical inscription during the exposure process in the darkroom (Thun). In this exhibition, the photographic works of both artists enter into a dialog and create space for reflection on the usually “outside” technical side of the medium.

Sophie Thun (b.1985) lives and works in Vienna. Numerous international exhibitions. Interim professor of the photography class at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (2023–2025).

Thomas Freiler (b. 1962) teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and has been head of the Photography Laboratory at the Institute of Fine Arts since 2006.
