Patrick Weidmann
Patrick Weidmann, deliver in Abstraction faite another facet of his multiple talents: writing. Between the essay and the aphoristic form, the author explores by touches our contemporary world in a style always lively and sharp, taking the reader sometimes to the approaches of nonsense.
In a few shortcuts, here is what constitutes the world of writing of Patrick Weidmann: the society of tourism, the world after God, the great masterpieces of past centuries, photography, objects and beings of fantasies, Elena Ceausescu, the dream, the real, the war, the cocktails, the stars, money, astrophysics, style, post-dandyism… all this and more, dotted with memories and reflections, on what makes a creator’s life today.
The essay is covered with photographic works by Patrick Weidmann, autonomous in relation to the narrative and far from illustration, just coming to slightly open up other dimensions.
