Telemach Wiesinger, photographer and film-maker (1968, Bielefeld, Germany), composes black and white photographic works that are at once visual poems, travelogues and anthropological portraits of unusual spaces beyond spatial and temporal distances - like a traveller’s mind does. A kaleidoscope of memories and sensations, his photos and his film poems are sequences or chapters of single camera set-ups and continuous takes creating a strange tension across movement and stasis, permanence and transience.
Referring to early photographic aesthetics, Wiesinger moves between “standing and running photography”: a creative freedom for surprising experiences and impressive visual effects. The overlapping images produce unique forms, the positive matches its negative, merging and diverging the contents. For Telemach Wiesinger, the analogue medium is essential as the painter’s brushes, spatulas, and paint: recording, developing, and crafting at the editing table, the photographic material passes through his hands numerous times.
In collaboration with Goethe Institut Neapel, on June the 16th at Museo Hermann Nitsch, Telemach Wiesinger will explain a selection of his photographs and 35mm slides, encouraging an encounter between audience and artist to articulate questions and arouse answers; an invitation to an active experience in the analogue photographic darkroom works.
