The Black & Light Series: Telemach Wiesinger

Photographer and filmmaker Telemach Wiesinger picks up the documentary ambitions of the historical avant-gardes, calling on the ghosts of Deslaw, Moholy-Nagy and Schuitema. His black and white works are at once visual poems, travelogues and anthropological portraits of the economic activity and architecture of the ports of northern Europe. Devoted entirely to the idea of travel and seafaring, the 16-mm images gleaned during the filmmaker’s travels are grouped into short sequences that are structured formally, forming a coherent kaleidoscope of memories and sensations. [Screening in 16 mm]
