Synopsis

The works documented in this catalogue reflect the artistic development of Horst Weierstall during the years 1979 to 2003. This period was largely marked by his frequent stays in England, Germany and Cyprus. The documentation does not offer a linear or continuous orientation in the development of the works. It rather juxtaposes different phases, groups of works, means and methods. In addition to the documented images, the artist has chosen quotations from various literary sources that inspired him during his artistic practices. These texts are as the artist recorded them in his notes. Several critical texts on Weierstall’s work are also included. The central concern for this publication, however, is to provide for the viewer an open ground for interpretation and a sense of participation in decoding the themes and concepts that are developed. In English, German and Greek.
