Series: Inn Situ

As part of the INN SITU series, photographers focus on the Tyrol / Vorarlberg region. 2026 marks the 200th anniversary of the invention of photography. In commemoration, INN SITU showcases an artist whose work practice is deeply entwined with the beginnings of the photographic process. Maciej Markowicz works with a camera obscura. He has transformed a van and a boat into cameras that move while he photographs his motifs. His lens allows light to enter the chamber for eight seconds – light which required eight minutes to travel from the sun to the earth. It hits large-format sheets of chromogenic photographic paper, resulting in directly exposed color negatives. Each work is a handmade, unreproducible unique piece. Photography akin to painting, sculpture, and performance. The resulting works depict Alpine rivers, photographed in Tyrol and Vorarlberg from bridges. These landscape photographs are supplemented with portraits taken by the artist in public spaces in Innsbruck. “For years, I was preoccupied with capturing time. Now I create art to live within time – to work with duration and, with complete mindfulness, to make the continuous flow of time visible.” (Maciej Markowicz)

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
