FOTOHOF Gallery
In reference to the famous exhibition »New Documents« (Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander and Gerry Winogrand, MOMA 1967), we are titling the exhibition at FOTOHOF with pictures by Paul Kranzler and Stefanie Moshammer in the gallery and Seiichi Furuya in the studio. »New Documents refined«. It shows photographs of the children, the grandmother, the partner - family pictures in the broadest sense and with very different approaches are the theme of the three prominent Austrian photographers.
As a child, Stefanie Moshammer spent a lot of time with her eleven cousins at her grandparents' house in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria. They played together by dressing up and putting on a show with the clothes and objects their parents had left them in the house. Years later, she revives these memories for a series of photographs, playfully arranged still lifes and communal stagings with her grandmother. They are a visual capsule of memories of the house and her childhood experiences in it. The bright and colorful images also tell of the effects of aging, of everyday rituals, of the impermanence of life, but also of dignity and self-determined living. Moshammer spins a web of metaphors and associations in a wall-filling composition.

The photo exhibition “Grandmother said it's ok” by Austrian photographer Stefanie Moshammer, which can be seen both at the Die Gelbe Wand gallery in the MCP - Mercati Culturali Pordenone and at the Museo Civico d'Arte Ricchieri.
In “Grandmother said it's ok,” the author explores the themes of family memories, identity, and everyday rituals through a collection of photographs, objects, and stories related to her grandparents from the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria. Using archive images, found objects, and life stories, she reconstructs memories and everyday gestures through visual metaphors that reflect on age, domestic rituals, and the transience of existence. The result is a portrait of a life characterized by simplicity, creativity, and a respectful use of resources.
