See the Echo

The Leica Gallery Salzburg presents "SEE THE ECHO", an exhibition by photographer Richard Schabetsberger that reveals unexpected connections between people, places, and moments. The works emerge from a creative practice that sets images in dialogue across projects—like puzzle pieces that only reveal their relationships through placement. On display are portraits of personalities such as Jane Goodall, Ai Weiwei, and Gottfried Helnwein, created in cities like Paris, Berlin, and Mexico City. The photographs blend aesthetic influences from film, fine art, and photojournalism, often showing the subjects in their creative environments.

A special chapter is the series "JEDERMANN – Beyond the Stage", which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Salzburg Festival. The images depict performers away from their stage roles and link Schabetsberger’s international work with the city’s cultural memory. The exhibition invites visitors to develop their own interpretations and rediscover the symbolism of the images.
