The first ten collectors of this series will receive a special introductory gesture. It is a quiet form of opening the project, without promotional language or urgency — intended for those who choose to enter the series at its very beginning.

A new body of work by Ziggy Kańczukowski has just been released in the gallery: High Tauern. The Zone Studies. The series was realised in the High Tauern National Park — a landscape deeply familiar to the artist and photographed repeatedly over many years — approached here as a field for sustained, methodical practice. The conceptual point of reference is the Zone System developed by Ansel Adams, understood not as a set of technical instructions, but as a disciplined way of thinking about photography.

Although Kańczukowski has long worked with both advanced analog processes and digital tools, a direct confrontation with this method was postponed for years. The series does not reinterpret tradition; instead, it records a moment of readiness — a conscious decision to enter into dialogue with a method that allows neither shortcuts nor formal compromise. Each photograph functions as an autonomous study while remaining part of a rigorously structured whole.

All works in the series are presented exclusively in a single, classical 8×10 inch format, historically associated with large-format photography. Each photograph exists as a finished object: printed on acid-free, 100% cellulose paper designed for long-term archival stability, framed in black-painted oak with a white passe-partout, and protected with museum glass. Printing and framing are executed by the Berlin-based WhiteWall, ensuring a controlled, museum-grade standard of production.

High Tauern. The Zone Studies is a series defined by discipline, decision, and time — both in its making and in the way it asks to be encountered. The works are now available in the gallery.
