Immer Zimmer

During his visits to Graz for his show Stephan Keppel: Hard Copies at Camera Austria, Stephan Keppel made walks in the city, collecting structures and surfaces. Keppel’s way of working is marked by intensive processes of walking, collecting, scanning, and printing (and rescanning and reprinting). Through his attention to detail in portraying structure and architecture and his awareness of the constant recycling of the built environment, Keppel’s images are devoid of the usual safe distance with which cities turn into cityscapes. Thus the publication offers a new view on the historic city of Graz. The book includes an excerpt from the poem ‘Kracht voor Graz’ (1976) by K. Schippers.
