Dorothée Nilsson Gallery is proud to present Mehr Licht a solo exhibition with Sascha Weidner. Marking ten years since his passing, „Mehr Licht“ revisits Weidner’s poetic and emotionally charged images, which create a radical and subjective visual world shaped by perception, longing, and coded symbolism. Through his photographs, Weidner celebrates and captures the beauty of the perfect moment, turning unconditionally towards himself and his environment. His radically subjective cosmos of images is a poetic film of life, in which every shot is an exuberant affirmation of life or a quiet melancholy. Weidner often used a mix of formats and sized photographs, covering entire exhibition walls with images that invited viewers to form their own associations and discover unexpected connections.
The exhibition coincides with the release of the publication “Estate und Künstlernachlass,” authored by Ole Truderung, the Estate of Sascha Weidner, and Inka Schube, curator of photography at the Sprengel Museum in Hanover. The booklet will be presented during a panel discussion at the Berlinische Galerie on September 12 at 4 p.m., as part of Berlin Art Week. The panel will feature Truderung, Schube, and Dorothea Schöne, director and curator of Kunsthaus Dahlem in Berlin.
Sascha Weidner (1974 – 2015) lived and worked in Belm and Berlin, Germany. His work is part of the collection of Berlinische Galerie, Berlin; Collection IBB, Berlin; Alexander Tutsek Foundation, Munich; Museum Folkwang, Essen; Sprengel Museum, Hanover; and the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection, New York.
