Circulation(s) 2013 –Klaus Pichler

Preview

Skeletons in the closet” is a long-term project started by the artist who questions the dark side of museums: that is their “backstage areas”, and in particular the warehouses, the basements and the storage rooms inaccessible to the public. This series of photographs originates from a personal experience lived by the artist at the museum of natural history: “It all started on a night during which I managed to see a glimpse of the museum of natural history through the cellar window: a desk with a table, a computer, some shelves, and an antelope soft toy.” This experience led Klaus Pichler to ask himself, among other things, where are the exhibitions stored when they are not exhibited. With the agreement of the Museum management, he was allowed to take pictures that try to answer his questions.

Born in 1977 in Austria, Klaus Pichler lives and works in Vienna. He graduates in 2005 in landscape ar- chitecture from the university of live sciences of Vienna and he works since as a freelance photographer. Self-taught artist who claims his status of self-made man, he vacillates between photojournalism and personal projects.
