ANNO WEIHS

As a person and artist I am self-taught. After my apprenticeship as a craftsman, regular years of work and a few semesters of cultural studies, I focused entirely on my artistic work.
The starting point of my works are the cyanotype and cameraless, experimental photography. On this basis, works with and on paper, linen or glass, fragile one-offs and expansive installations are created - not classic photographs, but objects that have their origin in the handling of light-sensitive materials and the corresponding processes. In addition to the work in the studio and in the darkroom, it is above all the on-site search for clues, the work in and with nature, that characterizes my decelerated and reduced work.
