The Other Body : Tina Lechner
For Tina Lechner, photography is not just a mean of recording a pre-existing reality, it is even a tool for creating new images and ideas. With roots in the historical avant-garde, the artist's photos are just the visible part of a reflection process that deals with human body metamorphoses in relation to the superstructure represented by clothing, work tools, and entertainment.

The exhibition, organised in partnership with the Austrian Cultural Forum and Expo Arte, opens on October 4th and will be on view at #2 Mendeleev D.I. Street until November 4th.
