Synopsis
Since the early 1990s, the German photographer Michael Wesely has been inventing and refining techniques for using extremely long camera exposures to take compelling photographs. Through the use of filters and a very small aperature (yet one that is standard in a professional camera lens), he is able to diminish the amount of light hitting the negative to the point where he can make the exposure last many thousands of times longer than we expect. Some of his pictures of Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, for example, in a series completed in 1999, were continuously exposed over a period of twenty-six months. The results of Wesely's exploration of these extremely long exposure times are as surprising as they are beautiful. In 2001, as The Museum of Modern Art was preparing for its ambitious construction and renovation project, it recognized in Wesely's work an unequalled opportunity to document that project in an artistically serious way. In August of that year, Wesely set specially designed cameras in longterm installations in and around the Museum, choosing his locations for the views they provided of the construction.Nearly three years later, the images are only recently complete, and their pentimento-like strata of transparencies and overlays render the construction project's evolution in time as a dense and delicate network in space. Open Shutter accompanies an exhibition organized by Sarah Hermanson Meister of The Museum of Modern Art. The book shows up to seven different images devoted to the construction of the new Museum of Modern Art. Presenting the evolution of Wesely's work with the long exposure, it also contains fifteen images from earlier projects, most of them documenting scenes of urban renewal.

Great, informative book by a great artist.
20. März 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is an art book. The photographs in this book derive their meaning as much from the concept behind them as from their inherent beauty. The concept is clearly explained in the introduction and in an interview with the artist. Both these texts are indispensable if you want to enjoy Wesely's work to the fullest extent. Summarized, it comes down to the idea that Wesely leaves the shutter of his camera open for very long periods of time (months, or years even), thus recording processes rather than isolated events in one and the same photograph. This gives the photo's an eery, layered look. Things that did not move throughout the exposure period appear sharp and contrasty like one would expect, but things that appeared or disappeared in that same time are recorded more or less translucent, depending on the time they spent in front of the lens. Thus, one witnesses the growth of a building over time asif it were a motion picture, but instead of a sequence of images, this is a movie in one photograph.
The photographs in the book focus on two projects, the Open Shutter project which Wesely did for the new Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Potsdamer Platz project, which he did in Berlin in the mid-1990s.
The reproductions of Wesely's art are all in all very good and my only minor problem with the book is that it does not go into the "how" of the art very deeply. For art lovers, this may not be important, but as a photographer, I would really like to know more about how it was done. If you ever get a chance to see his work in a gallery or a museum, go there!
