Walter Niedermayr

Walter Niedermayr (born 27 February 1952) is an Italian photographer and educator.

Niedermayr is mostly renowned for his photographs investigating the space as a reality occupied and shaped by people, questioning the ephemeral realms between representation and imagination.

This body of work started in 1987 with the series Alpine Landschaften (Alpine Landscapes), and continued with Raumfolgen (Space Con / Sequences) (1991), Rohbauten (Shell Constructions) (1997) and Artefakte (Artifacts) (1992).

His series Bildraum (Image-Space) (2001) focuses on architecture, space and environment.

Between 2011 and 2014, Niedermayr was teaching fine-art photography at the Faculty of Design and Art at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano in Bolzano.
