A Rare Opportunity: Michael Wesely’s Exclusive “Lily” Photographs

We are honored to present an exclusive selection of four distinguished artworks from Michael Wesely’s esteemed “Lily” series. Internationally recognized for his pioneering long-exposure techniques, Wesely redefines the boundaries of photographic art.

The Art of Capturing Time

In “Lily,” Wesely masterfully documents the delicate transformation of Lilies as they age. Utilizing custom-built pinhole cameras and ultra-long exposures, he transcends traditional still-life photography to encapsulate the essence of time. As philosopher Wolfram Eilenberger noted, Wesely achieves the remarkable feat of “capturing temporality within a picture.”

These photographs invite contemplation on life’s fleeting nature, offering profound reflections on the passage of time and the inherent beauty in transience.
