Imprints leads Julia Gaisbacher back to the Terrassenhaussiedlung in Graz— the brutalist housing complex from the 1970s where she grew up during the 1980s. The project explores how built spaces shape biographies, and how both temporal and spatial distance alter one’s memories and relationship to these places. Photography becomes a means of reclaiming and reinterpreting them.

The work continues Gaisbacher’s long-standing engagement with “dream houses” and, for the first time, opens an autobiographical perspective in which personal memories and architectural traces become readable together.
