The exhibition ?Objets Trouvés? Hofstätter Projekte shows three positions, which offer different ways of looking at reality as well as a variety of approaches to the medium of photography. Within the context of an installation, the artists Hannes Böck, Kerstin von Gabain and Guido Kucsko confront their works with historical art and utilitarian objects from the collection as well as the Kunsthandel Reinhold Hofstätter. In a guided tour Monika Faber (Bonartes) and Edelbert Köb - the curator of the exhibition - speak with the artists about the context and developing processes of their work as well as the conditions and possibilities of art photography today.
