Caroline Renzler and Fabian Haspinger are photographers and independent artists from South Tyrol, Italy. Their collaborative practice moves between portrait photography, analogue and artistic photography, and cultural mediation, with a strong focus on contemporary photographic discourse. Through their shared project and workspace Photoatelier Silbersalz, they have created an open and multifaceted space dedicated to photography for many years. Their work combines technical craftsmanship and analogue processes with a contemporary and experimental approach to the photographic medium. As initiators of the ANALOGUE Photo.Festival, they are committed to promoting and further developing analogue photography in South Tyrol and beyond. Through exhibitions, artist talks, photowalks and workshops, they create spaces for exchange, encounter and new perspectives on photographic practice.
The photographic work “Fuori stagione” by Caroline Renzler and Fabian Haspinger moves between documentation and poetic condensation. Their images lead into the winter transitional states of tourist destinations—into a time when the promise of leisure transforms into a silent, almost fragile emptiness. Architecture, surfaces, and details come to the forefront, speaking of time, use, and transience. At the center of the exhibition are Italian seaside resorts such as Jesolo, Grado, Bibione, and Caorle. Places defined by density and movement in summer appear reduced and almost suspended in winter. Closed façades, deserted promenades, and repeating architectural structures create their own visual order. In this way, a quiet topography of absence emerges. The works offer a new perspective on tourist spaces: not as mere backdrops, but as complex, cyclical landscapes in which presence and emptiness, function and stillness continuously alternate. Their work, predominantly created using various analog cameras, is marked by calm and precise attention.
