All that could have been
"Sascha Weidner works within a radical subjective pictorial world. This world is
greatly influenced by the perceptions, longings and dreamed images of a generation
whose credo can perhaps be best described by the slogan "No future - much present".
The drums batter away in the background, the guitars scrape. It sounds like punk,
but is, in fact, the next, and next-again, and next-next-again generation: now the
rhythms are more melodic, and the melodies are gentler. Sascha Weidner's photographs
are like songs. Their poetry soaks up memories and longings and creates real/unreal
images of resonating beauty. Life is a film, and every image stands for longing."
