Grandmother said it’s okay is a playful investigation of Stefanie Moshammer’s grandparents house in the countryside of Upper Austria. Her grandparents practice of repurposing fabrics, clothing, and objects stands in stark contrast to today’s throwaway culture. While contemporary society discards, they collected, preserved, and reimagined, turning everyday materials into lasting resources. This intergenerational contrast runs throughout Moshammer’s exploration.
Through photography and installation, she stages objects from the house in whimsical yet deliberate compositions, reflecting on rituals, nostalgia, and the cultural shifts in how we assign value to things. Her grandmother, dressed in garments found within the house, becomes both a collaborator and a reflection of inherited traditions.
The work also examines the slower rhythms of rural life and the passage of time. Blending humor and observation, the work moves between personal memory and broader social commentary, questioning how material culture evolves and what remains over time.
