Description

This photograph is mounted on aluminum bond and has a bar at the back.

“Mind the gap", the gap between platform and carriage, perhaps the chasm between fellow human beings, the abyss between languages. Perhaps one gets into the vortex of a lifeblood of our modern urban world, to which the subway is a metaphor. Here the interconnection, the speed, the drive and the loneliness of urban places seem to condense. 
Fotografisch Wolf-Dietrich Weissbach dissects these places underground in panorama format in a multifaceted way. The acting people are reduced to schems, to ghosts that float or stumble, jump, repeat themselves in the image. Technically, this is the result of the combination of long exposure and multiple exposure (sometimes up to thirty exposures on the same piece of film). The rotating lens of the panorama camera, whereby only a narrow strip is ever exposed, allows for an expanding tracking of objects moving in the direction of rotation out of the frame, as well as conversely – against the direction of rotation – the squeezing together of objects moving out of the frame on their own.
