mediterranean sea
A group of works by Aleksandra Kolodziejczyk and Karl Wratschko consisting of:
Film (2022)Baryt print (2022, 75x100 cm)
Lambda C print (2025, 40x60 cm)
The Mediterranean Sea remains a popular holiday destination and, at the same time, a dangerous escape route for many people. This group of works deals with this ambivalence.
Based on the first verse of a pop song from the 1950s, the film Mittelmeer questions the idealised image of the Mediterranean as a place of longing.
The two photographic works show breakwaters. Their task is, among other things, to prevent the destruction of boats by converting the energy of the waves through dissipation (literally ‘scattering’)
The photograph was taken by Kathrin Feichtinger at the group exhibition »Currents« at Wasserturm Wien in 2025.
