Permanence and Transience
During a walk through Vienna's city center, I stopped in front of this elevator door. I was fascinated by the traces that had accumulated on it over time: remnants of posters, stickers, lettering, scratches. People had left something here, others had pasted over it, painted over it, or torn it off again.
The door itself appeared to me like a manifesto. Solid metal, handcrafted, almost indestructible. And on this permanent surface: countless signs of the temporary. Messages that were once important fade. New ones take their place. Something always remains.
This interplay of permanence and transience attracted me. With my photography, I capture a moment of this ongoing change – and want to convey the feeling that made me stop in front of this door back then.
