Keep On Rockin’ By Stefan Fuertbauer

“On occasion of the magazine’s DATUM relaunch, I was asked to contribute a photo essay on 18 of the greatest comeback albums curated by Gerhard Stöger, one of Austria’s most renowned music journalists. To tell the story I played with the idea of exalting the music’s inherent pop culture by setting it in within the context of important fine art. To do so, I staged the album covers by installing them close to famous and precious paintings at the famous Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna’s gallery. It was important to me to capture the entire installation thus keeping that little twinkle that it’s all not drop dead serious as it pretends to be. Hence proportions, shadows and wirings are not right and give a hint of the overlaid fine art paintings behind the covers.”
