Wolfgang Strassl - What I See: What I See

In What I See, Wolfgang Strassl presents a diverse collection of photographic works created over the course of ten years, through which he seeks to further understand and reflect upon what it means to be a photographer today. Strassl spent more than 20 years working as an insurance executive before he embraced his true passion and embarked on an artistic career in photography. Throughout his decade-long intensive exploration of the medium, he has learnt to abandon the rational and structural thinking that he had cultivated and instead to invite emotion, instinct, mystery, curiosity, reflection, and uncertainty into his creative work. He is concerned with themes such as youth, memory, beauty, nature, the environment and how our lives play out within it. However, instead of providing clear answers, his work raises new questions while conveying a sense of the photographer's personality.
