Cities are both real and imaginary places. Their physical realities are closely linked to an imaginary dimension, which is fed not least by their images. The exhibition is dedicated to those characteristics of photography that provide us with a seemingly concrete and at the same time highly blurred idea of historical reality. At the FOTOHOF, works by anonymous authors from the Salzburg Museum’s photo collection prompt reflections on the strange role of photography as a medium of documentation, a substitute for memory and a muchdisputed art form.
