‘What makes Dorner special for you?’ Julius Hirtzberger tackled this question. The photo artist wanted to portray our company where we work: with our customers in the concrete plants. The result is a photo essay with astonishing insights.
Together with Kilian Dorner, Julius Hirtzberger set out in search of traces of beauty in the concrete plant. The former as an artist, the latter as a client and photo assistant. In two and a half days, they visited seven plants in Austria and Switzerland, including the highest concrete plant in Austria.
They found beautiful things in all the concrete plants – whether in the mixer room, at the aggregate feed or in the control center. After 21 hours in concrete plants, a thousand kilometres and long days and short nights, the pair's journey ended spontaneously in a pub garden on a sunny afternoon. Exhausted and full of joy, the two friends looked back on their adventure together. The best photos show new perspectives on familiar things.
‘I would not have expected to come across so much extraordinary aesthetics in concrete plants of all places through a little abstraction.’
‘It was an opportunity for me to get in touch with our customers on a different level.’
