Christa Zauner

Christa Zauner (1966, Upper Austria, lives in Vienna) combines in her photographs elements of classic portrait-photography and artistic transformation into graphics.

Here she portrays an androgynous person confronted with his/her shadow as symbol for other parts of his/her identity. So the real person meets his/her two-dimensional picture like an abstract mirror image. The black projection at the wall shows an other view of the body, symbolising an alter-ego, an opponent or a constant companion.
