Vienna Windows - Display in Process is an artistic and urban- research photoproject on the display windows of small shops and businesses along the streets in Vienna.

Here it is the unremarkable objects of everyday life that open themselves up to new interpretations and provide insight into the life of this city. Signs or handwritten notes featuring the Austrian coinage "Display in Process" are often to be found, indicating that a business´s display is currently beeing redesigned or provided with a fresh arrangement. Serving as the the programmatic title of this project, this phrase becomes a metaphor for the continous changes to the urban landscape.

We see it as a contribution to the everyday history of the city and as a photographic homage to the small business establishments of Vienna, whose preservation represents an invaluablecontribution to the diversity and vitality of the urban environment. Hanna Schimek & Martin Frey, Vienna 2014
