The current exhibition at the Lech Museum, “Blende auf! The Arlberg in Photography,” presents the wide range of photography connected to the Arlberg—from its beginnings to contemporary art.
Within this context, photographs by two international photography stars are also on display: Robert Capa visited the Arlberg once, while Slim Aarons is documented to have been in Lech twice. This lecture is dedicated to these works.
Dr. Michaela Feurstein-Prasser grew up in Bregenz and lives in Vienna. She is the guest curator of the exhibition “Blende auf! Photography at the Arlberg” at the Lech Museum, which has been on view at the Huber-Hus in Lech since July 2025. She studied Romance languages and history and worked at the Jewish Museum Vienna from 1993 to 2011. She has curated numerous exhibitions, including for the Jewish Museums in Hohenems, Frankfurt, and Munich, as well as for the Wien Museum and the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum. Since 2021, she has been curator of the “Museum des Wandels” (Museum of Change) of the Vorarlberg Chamber of Labour.
