Synopsis
"Thirty-six views of Vienna" is based on the idea of shot and counter-shot, giving a total of seventy-two photographs. Similarly to the technique developed first of all in film editing (used mainly in dialogue scenes), shots of the selected building are shown – then in counter-shots, the views available from the building. This simple concept results in not only thirtysix fascinating reciprocal views of architectural aspects and city prospects, but also a wide-ranging overview, extending beyond the customary image of the city.
