An attempt at a personal epistemology

About this book

This book is the result of Jeff Weber's long-term project as Kunsthalle Leipzig, an institution which worked as an extension of his photographic practice and functioned as a conceptual frame to invite others to actively participate. His sequence of images documenting the renovation of the Leipzig apartments reflects the wish for a place created with a minimum of means and invested with freedom. Light seems to become a physical object in Weber's pictures, 'yet the quality of grey tones is mysterious,' writes Robert Beavers. Besides many photos and posters from the Kunsthalle, the book includes a critical text by Michael Baers and a conversation with the artist and Marie-France Rafael.
