Background information
"'Gstettn' is a place of wilderness and freedom, a plot of land waiting to be used for housing and that has been taken over by nature in the meantime. From 2017 to 2021, Austrian photographer Regina ANZENBERGER set about capturing the essence of this small piece of land just behind the Anker bakery. Flats for 3000 people will be built, where once the buildings of Europe's largest bread factory stood - but that time has not yet come.
Content
