Gerhard Maurer - What are we waiting for, Edition Fotohof, 2021, Salzburg

 

Hardcover; edition of 500 copies, signed. Text by Anja Bohnhof in German, English.

The pandemic, the lockdowns, social distance for months, have shaped human life in recent years. In this unusual times Gerhard Maurer has created a multi-layered document of quiet photographs with a condensed aesthetic. What are we waiting for is a collection of sensitive images of loneliness and the loss of assurance in urban and rural spaces.  
It is his very personal world the photographer invites us to in order to reflect on a phenomenon which has affected society as a whole. This is a grand and generous gesture, which can only be offered by someone who is emotionally close to us to a point where deep understanding touches the individual human soul; the place, where the silence of loneliness and the fragility of one’s own existence originate from. (Anja Bohnhof)
