The school for artistic photography, Vienna is the only school in Austria which devotes itself exclusively to artistic photography. (…) The primary emphasis of this one-year program is to encourage the students to develop their own personal methods of creation, so that they can begin to realize their full potential as visual artists; and about the courage to stand behind your convictions as an artist, even though they may deviate from the norm. The artist-teachers of the school – photographers, poets, composers, architects, film makers, sculptors, painters, theorists – do not set tasks. To discover the unconditional interest in the motive is the most important requirement for each student.« (Friedl Kubelka, in: Schaulust, Edition Camera Austria, Graz 1998)

»Schaulust« looks back at the creative work of teachers and students since the founding of the school by Friedl Kubelka in 1990.
