Black and white square large format - Photo Iceland Gas Station Borðeyri 1996 - limited edition in 80x80cm
I took this lonely gas station in Bordeyri in 1996 with a 4x5inch camera. I wanted to photograph it again in winter in 2024.
When I got there, there was nothing left of the filling station apart from a vent pipe. On the one hand, I was very sorry not to be able to take any more pictures, but on the other, I realized that my large-format photograph from 1996 had become an irretrievable contemporary document.
With 16 inhabitants, Bordeyri is the smallest town in Iceland, and the bypass road has probably drained the gas station of its fuel.
Aufgrund des grossen Zuspruchs an der photo25 in Zürich habe ich mich entschlossen, eine limitierte Auflage von 5 (+2 AP) in der Grösse von 80x80cm gedruckt auf Büttenpapier im HALBE-Rahmen 100x100cm in Eiche Schwarz mit Passepartout und entspiegeltem Museumsglas anzubieten.

Due to the great popularity at photo25 in Zurich, I have decided to offer a limited edition of 5 (+2 AP) in the size of 80x80cm printed on handmade paper in a HALBE frame 100x100cm in black oak with a passe-partout and anti-reflective museum glass.
