For years, Christine de Grancy has documented Vienna’s imperial grandeur through the lens of her camera. From the Burgtheater to the Belvedere, her photographs celebrate the city’s most distinguished architectural landmarks. Yet it was not the perspective of the ordinary passerby that sparked her curiosity. Instead, she was drawn to the vantage point of the city’s enduring stone guardians, the gods, angels, and allegorical figures that crown its rooftops. Silent witnesses to the passage of time, these sculpted sentinels have watched over the city for generations, offering an extraordinary view of Vienna’s unfolding history. Therefore, Christine de Grancy has been climbing the roofs of Vienna, on the Ringstrasse and in the Inner City, discovering what is hidden to the average viewer, such as an open book leaning up against the naked posterior of an angel with a dedication giving thanks to Theophil Hansen, the architect of the unique Musikverein building. Through her lens, she brings otherwise unseen details out of hiding, revealing and documenting the hidden monuments of everyday life.
