Oh my Simmering
Finally, I got around to sharing these photos – even though they were already taken back in June during the “Grätzel Walk” organized by ZIGUTAMVE.
The challenge was simple but exciting: one black-and-white film, 36 frames, one district.
And since the 11th district of Vienna – Simmering – also happens to be my home, I was especially curious about how this would turn out. I know almost every corner of this beautiful part of the city, but experiencing it in a group, through the lens of film photography, gave me a fresh perspective.
The walk started at the Zentralfriedhof – a place I actually don’t visit nearly as often as I should, despite living so close. From there, we explored the Simmeringer Haide, the local greenhouses, and finally Schloss Neugebäude. Each stop had its own atmosphere, and together they painted a portrait of Simmering that felt both familiar and new.
It was a wonderful walk, full of inspiration and fun.
A big thank you to Dino for organizing the event – and also for developing the film at PHOTO CLUSTER.
