The publication AGES brings together concepts that, in different ways and over varying periods of time, investigate the biographies and the changes taking place in one’s self and others. The numerous series of portraits open our eyes to the various phases of time and age. It is striking to discover the extent to which photography and filmic works are capable of capturing the continuous, unstoppable change of the physiognomies and the personal expressions emanating from them. The artistic works on display are convincing in their systematic execution and they pose questions on life plans, destiny, and the influences that affect the personality. The book is published on the occasion of the exhibition AGES at Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur, Cologne (March - July 2013) and at the Landesgalerie Linz (November 2013 – February 2014).
