These images were photographed by Fotolabor Kreta during the Vienna Design Week in 2015. KRETALABOR was a pop-up photo studio run by Kreta Kollektiv for 10 days near Reumannplatz in Vienna’s 10th district. The group of photographers evolved from the first AnzenbergerMasterclass in 2014/2015. It reflects the diversity of the population of a big city like Vienna. And they are connected to historical clippings of the individual CVs of some of its inhabitants, a spectrum of all the components of identity and what the city is today. Photographers: Sonja Bachmayer, Simon Brugner, Thomas Bundschuh, Georg Herder, Karl Hödl, Ritchy Pobaschnig, Karola Riegler, Thomas Steinbichler and Georg Zinsler, historical images by Hans Vogler and others.

„These photos literally show human effigies – you see the most unique in its diversity, namely in its individual identity. And at the same time you always see the general, the reconnecting, what we all have in common: the pride, the hope, the defiance, the longing. We see all this large conceptional notions in the physiognomy, the body language and the attitude of these people. And that’s, ultimately, what it is all about: attitude. And these images capture attitude.“ - Robert Menasse
