Klaus Pichler’s photography is inspired by the hidden aspects of
everyday life in the world in which we live. He became a full-time photographer
after finishing his Landscape Architecture studies in 2005 and graduating from
the University of Life Sciences.
"Just the two of us"
His free photo projects have been widely published and he has exhibited
internationally.
All Hallows’ Eve, celebrated in costume on October 31st of
each year, led me to Pichler’s photo project entitled, “Just the two of us,” which
represents the desire of many to become for a just a little while, simply someone else
by donning a costume.
Creating an alter ego by acquiring a second skin allows a person’s
behavior to adjust to the state of their new representation.
In this series of photos, Klaus visited with owners of elaborate
costumes in their own homes. “Just the two of us” approaches both the costumes
and the people behind them.
“Regardless of the motivating factors which cause somebody to acquire a
costume, the main principle remains the same: the civilian steps behind the mask
and turns into someone else.” (Klaus Pichler)
