Georg Petermichl: Universal thoughts - least common multiple

Georg Petermichl (*1980 in Linz) is an Austrian photographer whose conceptual way of working is characterized by everyday observations, personal archives and social structures.

He uses photography to reflect social reality - not only in images, but also in the form of objects, films and installations.

In his exhibition "Universal thoughts: least common multiple" at the Francisco Carolinum, Petermichl focuses on photography as a social and psychological instrument. Starting from the smallest personal cosmos - his own family - he expands his view to larger contexts such as mass tourism, collective longings and shared cultural practices. The exhibition asks what drives people, how memories are formed and what role photographs play as carriers of identity, projection and social reality.
