Let the Camera Go!

Kamera los—"Let the Camera Go"—is the title of an exhibition at Salzburg's Rupertinum on the photogram, the photographic production of images without a camera.

Let the Camera Go! is also the motto at our birthday celebration when on March 15—today, when you receive this 57th edition of EIKON, photography aficionados from all over assemble to hear of what has happened over the last fifteen years since the founding of this journal in the realm of photography and media art in Austria (for more on this, read our anniversary issue 56). There will also be the rare opportunity to experience one of the three remaining large Polaroid cameras in the world, brought from Prague to Vienna exclusively for EIKON, making a stop at Museumsquartier, and then will be in action for the evening. Prominent figures from the worlds of art and culture will have their picture taken with this unique camera in a spectacular setting. The subsequent auction offers the possibility of acquiring these oversized photos, and all the profits will go to Intergationshaus Wien. Instant photo, instant relief.

In 1947, the first instant photo—which would become famous as Polaroid, was presented to the public. This is thanks to a three-year-old girl who complained to her father, the physicist Edwin Herbert Land, that she wasn't able to immediately see the photos he made of her. In 2007, the Polaroid celebrates its sixtieth birthday, and EIKON will this year repeatedly turn its focus on the Polaroid.

In this issue, we provide a small retrospective of what happened during the month of photography in November 2006 in Vienna, and for the collectors among you there is an extensive report on the tenth Paris Photo, organized at Caroussel du Louvre that also took place in November 2006—with EIKON on board.

With the Artist Pages, we move beyond European borders. CHI PENG is one of the shooting stars among Chinese artists. His often several meters long frieze-like works are balancing acts between fiction and transcendence. In his latest series-in-progress Journey to the West, he captures our gaze, he literally takes possession of it, and as if in a trance, we don’t know how to stop the journey.

ROGER BALLEN uses very different means to lead us beyond the concept of reality. In lyrical black-and-white compositions, he succeeds in showing a still larger color spectrum than would be possible with color photography. The Hamburg Deichtorhalle will devote a comprehensive solo exhibition to the American/South African artist from May to August, and its director, Robert Fleck, wrote a portrait exclusively for EIKON.

H. H. CAPOR's most recent work depicts the "liberation" of a young Muslim woman from the constraints of her religion. The photographs are spectacular and very timely, for they sensitively document a long inner process that only becomes reality through the external action.

Back to Austria: "Austria today"! This was the clarion call of the European Central Bank that in 2006 awarded their ECB award for the third time. Austrian photographers were called upon to submit photographs that explore their own homeland. First prize went to GERLINDE MIESENBÖCK, whose work is presented expansively for the first time by Martin Hochleitner here in EIKON. Second prize was awarded to Tatiana Lecomte, we will be presenting her work in June, and third prize to Paul Kranzler, whose work was featured in an article in EIKON 53. In this issue of EIKON, find an overview of all ten prize winners, whose individual presentations were given an ideal exhibition space at WestLicht.

And now jump in, and (don't) let your inner camera go!

For all of us here at EIKON,
Elisabeth M. Gottfried
