The Flaneur

Sauerkraut And Puber

The Viennese photographer Rita Nowak became known for her “tableaux vivants”, free associated reenactments of famous artworks through portraits of friends and self-portraits. Here we present “Souvenirs vom Flanieren” (Souvenirs from Strolling), a series of photos in which she poetically and humorously captures the city of Vienna on its side stages.
