Lumen X is a self-organized, open photo lab in Vienna, supported by a diverse community—from artists and activists to self-taught photographers. In this exhibition, we present analogue works created between darkroom, exchange, and improvisation.
The exhibition reflects not only photographic processes but also social realities: As a laboratory in the precariat, we work with limited resources but great dedication. Our practice is characterized by solidarity-based knowledge transfer, shared resources, and the attempt to create a sustainable space for analog image production – beyond the logic of commercial exploitation.
Put on the red light makes visible what would otherwise remain in the dark: collective work, experimental techniques and the political dimension of analogue photography.

With works by Julius W. Chromecek, Sigrid Herler, Paul Müller, Kerstin Pfleger and Daniela Zeilinger.

Janine Schranz and Daniela Zeilinger subtly question the basic conditions of the medium of photography. At Kunstraum SUPER, they are exhibiting pieces from their latest collaboration: new glass works and photograms.

“So my point is, there's nothing until there's something — and that's a high risk proposition.”
- Roni Horn

Just like glass, photography undergoes a thermal and temporal transformation during the creative process. The compositions are further abstracted, color fields dissolve, and the image returns to drawing. At all stages of the work, representational conventions such as the central perspective view are deliberately broken down. Softness emerges as a defining quality. In varying degrees of density, notions of mass and emptiness become flexible — space exists somewhere in between.
