»… the sensitive shots by the photographer christof leistl convey the spatial character of otto baier‘s static ›immobilien‹-objects in their varying atmospheric moods and they present baier‘s work.
the shots consequently illustrate the nowadays largely unknown process of work of a blacksmith and make it comprehensible. the impressive original pieces of wrought-iron work out of steel and bronze together with the photographic documentation form not only a many-faceted portrait of their creator, otto baier, but also a vivid homage to one of the oldest crafts of mankind.« (hephaistos, international magazine for metal sculptors)
