This exhibition is showing a selection of works from the Austrian Federal Photography Collection—on permanent loan at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg — put in dialogue with international artists and works of an expanded photography. The leitmotif of this exhibition is the creation of a self-portrait via self-timer. This practice, popular both in everyday life and in art, reciprocates with technical developments and shows itself in the release cables appearing in the compositions, the digital remote-control release, or the extended hand. In the moment of the camera’s clicking (which is even artificially reproduced in digital photography) the “I as autotimer” becomes prevalent and thus marks the relationship of subject and world, which has always been inseparably linked with the media.

Thus the exhibition presents the omnipresent theme of photographic self-depiction throughout various generations within the context of a media-critical art history and continues to the present day as a story of self-timer photography as emancipatory “click.” The exhibition design conceived by Dorit Margreiter focuses on the interplay of showing and hiding, of private and public.
