Imprints takes Julia Gaisbacher back to the Terrassenhaussiedlung (terrace housing estate) in Graz (AT) – the brutalist housing estate of the 1970s, where she grew up in the 1980s.
Through current photographs, revisited places and images of the vacant apartment of the recently deceased architect Hermann Pichler – a member of the architectural group Werkgruppe Graz, the estate's architects, and a long-time resident – Julia weaves a narrative connecting personal memory and architectural history.
The project examines how built spaces influence biographies and memories, how temporal and spatial distance affects these memories, and the relationship to these places. Photography here becomes a means of re-appropriation and re-signification.
Imprints continues Gaisbacher’s long-time exploration of “dream houses,” and, for the first time, opens an autobiographical perspective in which personal memories and architectural traces become readable together.
