Austin Settle | Past:Present
An Exhibition of Expanded Photography
Curator: Esther Hladik
Exhibition Dates: September 18–25, 2025
Gallery: Frei.Haus, Vienna

Past:Present reveals how the material of memory, in the moment of its disruption, speaks more than itoriginally contained—functioning as both archaeological excavation and future-oriented speculation. All works are C-Prints on Fujiflex II paper mounted on aluminum, created from color transparencies that are scanned but never digitally manipulated.
