Timo Huber a founding member of the architecture groups Zünd-Up and Salz der Erde is
fascinated by the seductive potential and unsettling force of everyday imagery. In his
photomontages he combines and defamiliarizes found pictures using analog techniques editing
visual material with his scalpel to create surprisingly new and ever-topical narrative
compositions. As in many of his drawings the result is various layers of meaning each of
which gives rise to new realities unexpected connections and complex statements with personal
or topical references to everyday life. The publication UNEXPECTED CONNECTIONS Montages and
Drawings shows a cross section of Huber's recent works and is accompanied by a comprehensive
essay by Eva Badura-Triska. Timo Huber born in 1944 in Freistadt Upper Austria lives as an
architect and artist in Vienna. He studied architecture at the Vienna University of Technology
and worked on actions and films by the Vienna Actionists in 1967. His own artistic works as
well as those of Zünd-Up and Salz der Erde have been shown in numerous exhibitions in Austria
and abroad and are in important collections (Albertina Vienna Wien Museum mumok - Museum
moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Vienna Landesgalerie Linz Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz Centre
