Thomas Weinberger - Profile

Weinberger positions his camera in city spaces and industrial areas. He also selects unusual viewpoints which are unappreciated by our everyday perception. Through an bsence 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. Using a classic, large-format camera, the artist takes two analog images of the same motive at different times, one during the day and one at night. The two are then laid over one another with the help of a computer. The resulting image is a reality of impossible visual experience in which the light conditions of day and night are compressed into a permanent picture. This process requires utmost precision. In between takes, the camera must remain in the same position in order to allow the exact superimposition of the individual images. Only in this way can the synthesis of the two moments in time result in an image marked by simultaneity. The exhibition title Operational Reality refers to the provisional action of physicists who adopt operative models in the mathematical completion of ununderstood phenomena in quantum physics. Not only in the field of science but also in everyday life, people are continuously impelled to interact operationally with their surrounding reality. But neither can this reality be fully grasped nor is the total resolution of its contrariness possible. In this sense, Weinberger understands his daynight photographs as models for capturing space and time. They throw into question an everyday reality experienced as a linear continuum.
