A Contemporary Vision

A Contemporary Vision

Recording cultural landscapes across the world, Austrian photographer Alfred Seiland’s (b. 1952) body of work taps into the tradition of New American Color Photography. The meticulously composed compositions offer a bright synthesis of colour and light, recording the urban vernacular of the US and beyond.

Now on display at Albertina, Vienna, the collection offers viewers a nostalgic yet strikingly contemporary vision, combining  analog techniques with modern aesthetics.

Until 7 October. Find out more here.
