Fritz Simak&#8217;s multifaceted photographic oeuvre, created over decades, addresses the question of the visibility of the world in the tension between the figurative and the abstract. It is about looking at everyday life as well as an intrinsic look into the medium itself. In often experimental ways, photochemical processes, among other things, become visible as (abstract) image generation (\u2018Pangaea\u2019), while in his night-time images (\u2018Sch\u00f6nbrunner Mauer bei Nacht\u2019 [Sch\u00f6nbrunn Wall at Night]), black-and-white photography acts as a metaphor for light, like a process of abstraction \u2013 what do we see when we see?<\/p>\n<p>Vernissage 06.11.2025 | 18:30 Uhr | EIKON Schauraum | MuseumsQuartier Wien<br \/>\nCarl Aigner with Christoph Fuchs | In Conversation[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-203623&#8243; type=&#8221;carousel&#8221; medias=&#8221;177209,177210,176396&#8243; gallery_back_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; carousel_lg=&#8221;3&#8243; carousel_md=&#8221;3&#8243; carousel_sm=&#8221;1&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,caption&#8221; carousel_interval=&#8221;3000&#8243; carousel_navspeed=&#8221;400&#8243; carousel_loop=&#8221;yes&#8221; stage_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; single_text=&#8221;under&#8221; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; single_overlay_visible=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_overlay_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_text_visible=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_text_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_image_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_v_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; single_text_reduced=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_meta_custom_typo=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_meta_weight=&#8221;300&#8243; single_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;424914&#8243; gallery_back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;187838&#8243; el_class=&#8221;maxpx1400displaynone&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;176000&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fritz Simak&#8217;s multifaceted photographic oeuvre, created over decades, addresses the question of the visibility of the world in the tension between the figurative and the abstract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":176510,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[302,307,332],"tags":[453,454,455,447],"class_list":["post-176391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibition","category-showroom","category-artist","tag-fritz-simak","tag-christoph-fuchs","tag-sichtbarkeiten","tag-schauraum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.eikon.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
