Signs of the Times

Helena Manhartsberger navigates between the multitudes of her work as a reporter and her life as a citizen in post-election Austria, where the far right has emerged as a major force. Sometimes visiting intimate and personal places, sometimes portraying the official structures of power, Signs of the Times mixes elements of documentary and staging, seeking to bring to light a body of work that enunciates feelings of uncertainty and disquiet at the current threat to democracy.
