Hidden Public Spaces Captured By Gisela Erlacher

“With public space being under increasing pressure in today’s world of global acceleration and urbanization, spaces we are unconscious of edge ever more into focus.” Erlacher focuses on the sometimes overlooked public spaces in the urban environment, such as hidden lots under bridges. The images show different angles and perspectives influenced by the structure of concrete buildings. In her work, Erlacher specializes in architecture photography. The series has culminated in a book, which was released alongside essays by Lilli Lička and Peter Lodermeyer in 2015.
