Upcoming exhibitions and events:

Nov. 8, 2024, 2024, from 7 pm – open end: Presentation of my new illustrated book “Hans Weiss: My Father’s Paradise – The people of Hittisau”. Reading and slide show with music.

„Johann Weiss, a modest craftsman from the small village Hittisau in Western Austria, seemed to become quieter and smaller from year to year at the side of his Chanel No 5-scented wife, until he finally disappeared. In the present volume, his son Hans Weiss brings him back to – no, not to life, but in pictures and stories to the memory and paradise of his small village.“ (Christoph Ransmayr, Austrian author)

„A beautiful book. But above all, it is a loving book!“ (Peter Klein, former Ö1-Radio-Director of ORF)
