The Time Travel project brings the little-known historical photographers of the region before the curtain. The gradually increasing importance of tourism in the 19th century and the presence of the imperial family led to an unusual density of photographers in the Salzkammergut. They left behind an impressive number of historical photographs and archives. Everyday scenes, portraits and landscape photographs by Styrian photographers Albert Rastl, Michael Moser, Erich Bahrendt, Konrad Mautner and others are made available to international photo artists: Zuzana Pustaiova (SVK), Yukimi Akiba (JP), Kim Boske (NL), Zhang Kechun (CHN), Marco Lanza (IT), Elisabeth Czihak (A), Tamas Dezso (HUN), Pawel Jaszczuk (POL), Patrick Lambertz (DE-CH), Stefanie Mooshammer (A) and Yvonne Oswald (A). They comment on and interpret the historical views, thus creating a link to contemporary photographic art.
