Kunstwerkstatt Lienz: Helmut Tezak presents fascinating photo essay Fiume_

Mühlgasse 8a, 9900 Lienz, Österreich - The Kunstwerkstatt Lienz is on Friday, June 20, 2025, the setting for a new photographic exhibition by Graz photographer Helmut Tezak. The artist, born in 1948, presents a comprehensive photo documentary work with "Fiume_" that has been created in different cultural landscapes for several years. The exhibition spans an arc from Upper Styria to the Channel Valley.

Tezak attaches great importance to the authentic handling of the medium of photography. It follows an immediate style, photographs directly and without productions. It creates an exciting interplay between the image and space, which means that the photography shown without explanatory text does not require. This approach is also taught in his courses at the Technical University of Graz, where he passes on basic knowledge of photography to his students.

Details on the vernissage and exhibition duration

The vernissage of the exhibition will take place on Friday, June 20, 2025. The official exhibition duration extends from June 23 to July 18, 2025. The Kunstwerkstatt Lienz is accessible to visitors during the opening hours from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The venue is located in Mühlgasse 8a in Lienz.

Tezak's first exhibition in the art workshop was specially tailored to the architectural conditions of the room. This underlines its ability to create works that not only visually appeal to the viewer, but are also integrated into the special context of the exhibition space, as reported.

A look at photography and its role

The importance of photography as an art form is becoming increasingly clear these days. Facilities such as the Museum of Modern Salzburg specialize in promoting photography as an essential part of their collections. Under the direction of Katharina Ehrl, the museum was newly profiled as a competence center for photography and media art and offers innovative concepts for redesigning and maintaining photographic works.

Tezak's approach and his philosophical considerations of photography bring a fresh perspective into the art scene of Lienz. His project "Fiume_" can be seen as an open chapter in an ongoing story that not only offers visitors a visual experience, but also leaves room for reflection and interpretation.
