Dorothée Nilsson Gallery

As a photographer, Weidner’s work deals with the creation of a radical subjective pictorial world. Often romantic or melancholic he captured the world of the subconscious. Weidner transformed visible reality into codes, into encrypted pictures. His work is often displayed in arrangements, allowing for new contexts to appear.

Weidner said: “The images are never contextualized. It is always a search, a game”. Magnusson’s sculptural work explores space, place, artifact, and materiality. Working with found material, she doesn’t alter the objects but instead allows them to become part of a constellation, creating a surprising or humorous interplay between otherwise ordinary elements. Her archive is a material pool she dips in and out of. Construction and destruction follow each other. Furthermore, her work has a strong reference to performance and is at times performed with. The choreography between performer and sculpture explores spatiality in the present and the past. Weidner and Magnusson's conceptual processes toward presentation follow a similar pattern. Both take separate elements and allow them to become part of a new narrative. Art historical references seep into their work, be it as a visual reference or as a catalog propping up another object.
