Gerhard Maurer

Gerhard Maurer pictures his family and his immediate surroundings: The empty center of Klagenfurt, the city where he lives, and its neighboring areas, in times when social distancing is turning into a survival strategy and society becomes more and more fragile. Outside his house and garden, while walking through the city center and its recreational areas, the photographer pictures people he meets – always complying a distance of some meters. What are we waiting for is a very personal survey that shows the discomfort, uncertainty and thread people are facing all around the world these days, while the nature flourishes and the beginning of spring turns into a symbol of hope.
