A Century in Pictures. Austria 1925–2025

Graphic production for the exhibition in the State Hall of the Austrian National Library.

Following "Image.Power.Politics" and "The Danube – A Journey into the Past," checkpointmedia, in collaboration with Nicole Stadler (Pop.Cut), is once again responsible for the graphic production of an exhibition in the State Hall of the Austrian National Library: "A Century in Pictures. Austria 1925–2025."

Marking several significant historical anniversaries, the exhibition presents a vast collection of photographs, posters, and periodicals, documenting key social, political, and cultural developments over the past 100 years – from the crises of the First Republic and the post-war reconstruction in 1945 to Austria’s EU accession and contemporary political shifts.
