Erli Grünzweil (b. 1992) is photographer and art director based in Vienna. His work lies at the intersection of observational and staged photography. He is questioning the medium itself through bringing it to its boundaries—the boundaries of lens-based and computer-generated pictures, static and moving images, fact and fiction, fine art and applied photography. The outcome are hybrids which seemingly show ordinary situations or random things, but through aesthetics, types of image production and context it goes deeper and addresses social, political and personal matters. Working for magazines like Zeit Magazin, Sueddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, Zeit Campus, FAZ Quarterly or Das Magazin.

FAZ Quarterly asked me about the future after covid-19. During isolation I took this image and tried to stay positive and imagine a world I’m longing for. A world which will keep on turning even though a little bit slower and more cautious with a more kind, sustainable and conscious society.
