Arno Gisinger

Arno Gisinger is an Austrian artist who lives in Paris. He also teaches at the Université de Paris 8. He is developing a practice, which combines photography and historiography, through the work on the representation of the past and the questioning of the status of images in our contemporary societies. Between 2012 and 2014 he elaborated two projects that revolved around the transformation of images when confronted to the spaces where they are to be exhibited: Topoï reconfigures his major works into the space and time of four different exhibitions in Europe, while Atlas, suite questions the complex relationship between the artworks and their photographic interpretations through an exhibition approached from every dimension related to its making. Arno Gisinger has published several books encompassing photography, history and fiction, among them L’Ordinaire de l’oubli (Société française de Photographie, 2001) and Konstellation Benjamin (Transphotographic Press, 2009).
