with his backpack, tent and minimal work utensils, preferably an analog camera and film: \u201cIt is the simplest medium \u2013 minimalist. I work with a Leica or a Hasselblad. I am interested in a direct access, no detours.\u201d During his several months long travels in sparsely populated regions analog photography proved ideal for his purposes because of its independence from electricity. \u201cOn every trip, I have a maximum of 20 rolls of film with me. 750 photos, this must be enough for at least three months. It almost forces me to keep a calm line of vision. In my pictures, I want to convey tranquility.\u201d<br \/>\nThe artist understands hiking as liberation from predetermined ways of life and artistic guidelines. The \u2013 partly overdrawn \u2013 photographs, drawings and written notes can be read as an attempt of situating the human being in nature and as a reflection on the relationship between the two.<br \/>\nA main contribution in the latest issue EIKON #109 is dedicated to the artist.<\/p>\n<p>Vernissage 10.03.2020| 19:00 | EIKON Showroom MuseumsQuartier Wien[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-203623&#8243; type=&#8221;carousel&#8221; medias=&#8221;177482,177483,177484,177485,177486,177487&#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; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;205961&#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>Michael H\u00f6pfner walks; with his backpack, tent and minimal work utensils, preferably an analog camera and film: \u201cIt is the simplest medium \u2013 minimalist.
