Text by Eugen Blume, Mark Gisbourne

Michael Wesely’s publication shows three important parts of his work, commented and interpreted by Eugen Blume, curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, and Mark Gisbourne, free-lance curator in London and Berlin. Both of his main aspects in his work are discussed: the narrative potential of long time exposure in the series “Strand “ (1996), “Potsdamer Platz” (1997-2001) and lately the collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art in New York (2001-2004). His approach with his self-constructed “Split-Camera” with which he made several groups of works since 1995 like “Palazzi die Roma” (1995) and “East Germany” (2002-2004) also suggests the connection between the titles and the essays about the so called photographic reality: the invention of the invisible.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
