The photographs shown in the exhibition play with those themes that often appear in free artistic work and have retained their relevance to this day: Intuition, self-doubt, esteem, stability and role models. “Passion Pays the Bill” picks up fragments of very different stories and careers and shows eleven musicians in an environment that was individually chosen by them. However, something unites the artists: their passion, their courage, their network, their stamina, as well as their talent and ability to make a living from their music. Excerpts from the conversations that took place between them and the photographer in the run-up to the photo shoot shed light on the parallels that still exist today with the great, often underestimated Anton Bruckner, who only gained attention and recognition late in life, while offering a glimpse behind the scenes of each individual personality.First exhibited during Brucknerfest 2022 in Linz/Upper Austria.Concept and Idea: (c) Helga TraxlerExhibition Design: Joachim HacklThanks so all the artists who participated so far.
