Irene Steger is an independent artist focusing on analogue photography, Polaroid lifts, and collage. In her work, photographs are not treated as finished images, but as raw material for transformation. Through processes of lifting, shifting, and layering, new visual spaces emerge in which fragmentation and process remain visible. The image is never fixed, but exists in a continuous state of transition. Irene Steger lives and works in South Tyrol, Italy.
In the project Unfold / verschoben, photographs are reimagined — the image itself becomes only a starting point. Through lifting and collage, the works detach from their original form and are created anew. The process unfolds through displacement, fragmentation, and repetition.

Kurt Stauder, born in 1962, is a mountain and ski guide who has been deeply engaged with photography since 1975, particularly with the medium of Polaroid. Alongside his alpine work, he developed an independent photographic practice focused on experimentation. At the center of his work is the Polaroid image as an immediate and autonomous visual medium. His photographs move between landscape, alpine experience, and photographic reduction, combining close observation of nature with an experimental approach to process and materiality.
The photo series was created in November 2021 during a ferry crossing from Venice to Murano.
