ILSE HAIDER: objects and photographs
January 29 till April 10, 2011
Museum of Modern Art Rupertinum

Ilse Haider is this year’s winner of the Otto Breicha Prize for Photographic Art 2011.

The artist, who was born in Salzburg in 1965, questions the fundamental qualities of the photographic image in her works: surface, image carrier, mediality, subject matter. Her artistic language is based on a combination of photography and sculpture, of pictorial surface and three-dimensional space.  Her works mainly explore traditional “female” and “male" role models and criticise gender stereotypes used in advertising and in everyday life.
