Background information
This photo book in paperback format, 'Between Bridges', is a journey of discovery to an unknown place, to the people who live here: Brigittenau. Somewhat out of the way, the 20th district itself is hardly familiar to many Viennese - perhaps because at first glance it has nothing spectacular or extraordinary to offer. Founded 120 years ago on an area reclaimed from the Danube swamp, the former workers' and now immigrant district never really got beyond its image as a casual 'Viennese suburb'. At second glance, however, a surprising variety of characters reveals itself between broad main roads, spacious tenements, abandoned industrial areas and secretive riverside paths. Over a period of five years, Christopher MAVRIC documented spontaneous encounters with residents of the twentieth century and their living environment with his analog medium format camera.
