I Found The Abandoned Pianos In Austria

ADVERTISEMENT

Last year I was lucky enough to be able to visit a country that was close to my heart: Austria.

I had been looking for abandoned pianos in Austria for a while, it was not at all easy. After several months of searching, I finally decided to leave.

I was lucky, I managed to find 5 pianos in one week. These photographs are part of my project and my series “Requiem for pianos”. Series started in 2009 with the aim of photographing forgotten pianos all over Europe.
