formulaic images as documents and organize them
in stereotypically defined categories. Another kind
of action in newspapers occurred in 1975, when he
placed colorations on one page of the feminist
Emma. In hisZeit-Serien(Time Series) he took 36
photographs of a scene, the number of images on a
standard roll of film, documenting various every-
day situations or scenes, such as pictures of a car
radio while music that he enjoyed was playing. In
1995 he founded the magazineOHIO.
Many of Feldmann’s projects are postcard series
and placard-like prints. For the yearly exhibition in
Vienna called Das Plakat, he created toward the
end of 1994 and the beginning of 1995, 3,000 public
placard partitions, on which he arranged family
photos of his own and of strangers in black and
white on a blue background. In his subversive mimi-
cry, Feldmann is active in all media he can copy.
