For over three decades now Michael Wesely has created revelatory photographs using large-format lenses on self-made, long-exposure cameras. The resulting exposure times are extraordinary—not merely minutes and hours, but days, months and even years. Wesely’s camera catches the enormity of everything that passes before it, crystallizing reality into unexpected, densely layered and sometimes ghostly pictures. Familiar objects often become only partially recognizable, opening up new perceptions of time and space.
