Inge Dick

Inge Dick is an Austrian painter, photographer, and video artist.

At the heart of her work is an exploration of the immateriality of light and time, which she renders visible in monochromatic photographs. She continually develops monochromatic imagery as a visual form in both video and photography. She began as a self-taught artist and graduated from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna in 1962. In the 1980s, Polaroid images became central elements in Inge Dick’s works, as she sought to give visibility to themes such as time and light. Her creations led artists around the world to engage with Polaroid technology. The 1990s marked the peak of her career with a project in Boston using the world’s largest Polaroid camera (100 × 200 cm). The artist received commissions for public art and realized numerous projects in Austria and Germany. Inge Dick has been working in Innerschwand am Mondsee since 1984.
