  Catherine Hyland explores AustriaPhotographer Catherine Hyland travelled across Austria to create a body of work responding to the people and places she encountered. She began her trip in the Bregenzerwald and ended in the city of Linz in Upper Austria. Commissioned by Studio 1854, with the support of the Austrian National Tourist Office, the resulting series explores the dynamic of chaos versus control, between nature and humanity, which Hyland observed across the country.
