Since 1985 Walter Niedermayr has been developing projects where he investigated the space as a reality occupied and shaped by man, questioning the apparently secondary realms between representation and imagination.
This body of work consists of the series of works Alpine Landschaften (Alpine Landscapes) started 1987, Raumfolgen (Space Con / Sequences) started 1991, Rohbauten (Shell Constructions) started 1997, Artefakte (Artifacts) started 1992, Bildraum (Image-Space) since 2001. The last one focuses on architecture in a way that uncovers space and ambience. In the time span 2005-2008 took place the series Iran, while 2009/2010 he has been working on Aspen Series.
He exhibits his works worldwide since the 1980s. Between 2011 and 2014 Walter Niedermayr has been teaching fine art photography at the Faculty of Design and Art, Free University of Bolzano/Bozen.
