“POLITICAL KARAOKE” is a photographic discourse, a political statement, interpretation and portrait. The series consisting of 24 photographs shows a fragmentary observation of the current activist music scene in Vienna and tries to pay attention to the political topics that are discussed within this scene. The series consist of twelve portraits as well as twelve corresponding photographic visualizations of politically relevant songs, that the musicians themselves chose. Political Karaoke in its attempt to draw an axis between photography, politics and music deals with the question how relevant political contemplation is in the production of applied photography.
