The Photographic Perspective on the Art Scene
Daniel Biskup, born in 1962 in Bonn, has made a name for himself as a photojournalist and documentary photographer. After studying in Augsburg, he received early commissions from national media and developed a visual language that connects historical moments with precise observation. His portraits range from artists like Anselm Kiefer and Katharina Sieverding to personalities from politics and culture; his works are part of private and public collections.

Rococo Architecture Meets Contemporary Photography
The Schaezlerpalais, with its historical substance, provides an impressive framework for this artistic exploration. The building is one of the most significant museum locations in Augsburg, housing the German Baroque Gallery, the Graphic Collection, and the Rococo Festive Hall; the special exhibition on the second floor fits into a museum context where historical spaces and contemporary imagery intersect.

Accessibility and Visitor Experience

For an optimal exhibition atmosphere, it is recommended to visit with enough time, as the building itself is part of the aesthetic experience.
