Passants parmi les pierres
curated by Thomas Demand
Accompanying the exhibition Passants parmi les pierres, curated by Thomas Demand, fjk3—Contemporary Art Space invites visitors to a series of expert talks. Taking selected works from the exhibition and the image captions written by Clemens J. Setz as a point of departure, guests from photography, image theory, and art history will discuss perception, memory, and the question of how images do not merely depict reality, but actively produce it. The talks open up perspectives on the relationships between image, space, history, and viewer.
The series opens with a conversation between the scholar for visual studies, photography and film historian Roland Fischer-Briand and the artistic director of fjk3 Fiona Liewehr. They will discuss the photographic trace, questions of truth and fiction in the image, and the relationship between documentation, staging, and memory.
Roland Fischer-Briand (born 1975 in Austria) is a visual culture scientist, photo and film historian working as a custodian and curator. He currently heads the photography collection at the Theatermuseum in Vienna (KHM-Verband). Previously Roland was custodian of the iconographic departments of the Cinémathèque suisse, Lausanne; From 2002 to 2020 he was the head of the photo and poster collection and of the Dziga Vertov and Michael Haneke Collections at the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna.
Besides activities as visiting professor at the University of Applied Arts, he founded and edited (with Amelie Zadeh and Mario Kiesenhofer) STREULICHT - Magazine for photography and related matters.
His most recent publications include Detoured Horizon (in: LUCY, Lucy McKenzie, Salon für Kunstbuch, Vienna 2026), The Kaleidoscope of Caligari: Aspects and References of Film Expressionism with a Viennese Influence, featured in Experiment Expressionism: Schiele Meets Nosferatu (catalogue for the eponymous exhibition, Verlag für moderne Kunst, Vienna, 2025); Fabulous Photography, Ready for the Stage! The Albums of Hubert Marischka (Fotohof, Salzburg, 2023)
