Peter Garmusch, who works as the assistant of international photographers
and travels around the world, has collected his own impressions from abroad
and realized them in photographic series such as “Wheelbarrows”,
“Shoot a load” and “Turbulent Gold”.
His main
interests are photographic sculptures with different and various compositions and background, telling interesting stories, but leaving it up to
the spectator to interpret and understand his ideas and thoughts. Surreal,
very intense situations with social-critical approach are his strong point.
— Marina Yolbulur-Nissim
Curator for the KunstHausWien, Vienna, Austria
Peter Garmusch was one of three photographers from
Austria chosen to represent Austria in 2008 at the nightlong projection
of photographs from 27 European countries at the Rencontres Festival in
Arles. Marina Yolbulur-Nissim served as curator for the selections from
Austria.
