Gerlinde Misenboeck

Gerlinde is a photographer living in Linz. She has studied in Linz, Manchester, and Finland and recently produced a series of photographs based on her experiences in the Scandinavian country.
Gerlinde told us how her photographs were limited by the cold temperatures experienced in Rovaniemi, and how they were a response to the thickly forested landscape. The density of trees prevented vision into the distance, removing traditional concepts of landscape perspective from her images.
Linz EXPOrt funding allowed Gerlinde to travel to Finland, she also told us about new funding called Linz imPORT, which allows artists from outside of Linz to come and work in the city. Gerlinde is documenting events surrounding the Kranke Hase (sick rabbit), which is being organised by Kunstraum Goethestrasse xtd, which I’ll tell you about later.
