THIRD PLACE is a series of events of the University Library and the Publication Department,
University of Applied Arts ViennaBy and with Caroline Heider, Ruth Horak, Lisa Rastl and Claudia Rohrauer
Following our first joint publication Fotografie als Motiv, we now move on to the next round asking: is photography male?
How does its history change when written from a female perspective? Is it at all possible to apply gender-specific language
to photography?
Yes, it is! If tech-savvy female artists stage their working procedures
as a performance, taking the camera fetish literally or re-reading specific self-help literature, and if photo-savvy female
authors write an insightful context to go with it. An additional glance into media history reveals how the relationship between
women and photography really was and which clichés have persisted until today.
FOTOTECHNIKA
is both factual and sensual, offering art, theory and reflection. Lovers of photography will understand its techniques and
processes.
