Michael Wesely, the luminary of contemporary German photography, stands as a visionary trailblazer in his field. With groundbreaking techniques, he has unlocked the ability to capture extraordinary long exposures that transcend conventional boundaries, spanning cities, architecture, still lifes, interiors, and portraits. Wesely wields a meticulously crafted pin-hole camera as his artistic instrument, delving deep into the realms of temporality and ephemera. His photographs are more than mere images; they are profound manifestations of the relentless march of time itself.
Wesely’s extraordinary contributions to the world of photography have been richly acknowledged with an array of prestigious awards and honors. Among them, a noteworthy 1995 scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD enabled him to craft captivating photographs in the Netherlands. In 1999, he earned a distinguished scholarship from the Free State of Bavaria, granting him the opportunity to further his artistic pursuits in the United States. A pivotal moment in his career came in 2004 when he received a commission from the illustrious Museum of Modern Art in New York to undertake the monumental “Open Shutter Project.”
Born in Munich, Germany, in 1963, Michael Wesely has since chosen Berlin as both his abode and creative sanctuary. His work transcends mere photography; it is an exclusive portal through which one can witness the convergence of artistry and time.
