Thomas Weinberger CONDENSED LIGHT
Thomas Weinberger's photographs surprise by the strange and surreal atmosphere they convey. Sharply defined, almost sculptural, they show industrial plants and urban landscapes devoid of any human traces.
These spectral images are the result of a distinct technique that Thomas Weinberger uses for his work process. The German photographer takes two pictures of the same motif, a day shot and a night shot, and superimposes them subsequently in order to obtain the synthesis of two different lighting situations. This superimposition of natural light and artificial light questions our usual perception of the world and creates a fictional or imagined temporality.
In this alienated reality darkness becomes embedded in light, and conversely light in darkness. Any ephemeral, instantaneous element, any trace of human presence... - Exposition
Thomas Weinberger Operational Reality
Nusser & Baumgart Contemporary is pleased to present Operational Reality, a solo exhibition of new, large-format photographs by Munich-based artist Thomas Weinberger (born 1964). The show runs from May 30 - July 11, 2008.
Weinberger positions his camera in city spaces and industrial areas. He also selects unusual viewpoints which are unappreciated by our everyday perception. Through an absence of people, the pictures possess a strange emptiness and stillness. Their indefinable gray-blue skies and unclear lighting conditions make it impossible to discern what time of day the images were made. This is also true of more abstract photos such as Hurlyburly, taken in the fall of 2007, which depicts a multi-directional, nonheirarchical, "all-over" pictorial composition of branches and colored leaves.
