Stabat Mater

Josef Dabernig

Sabine Gruber, Emma Gruber

Hotel guests look restrained, sedated in the diffuse light of the service provider’s shimmering cage. A network of joists, pilasters and fluting exposes the proverbial off-season chill in the seating arrangements. Smart-phones and tablets mask a total lack of communication.

Thomas Baumann, Martin Kaltner

Josef Dabernig, Martin Kaltner

An enlightened response to Austria's breathless cinema, a cinematic ricochet with trance flavour enhancers. Cinema which evidently appears to come from a completely different world precisely because its manner of dealing with this world is so uncompromising.

Josef Dabernig

Josef Dabernig

Josef Dabernig, Martin Kaltner

Martin Behr, Josef Dabernig
