In the series Ressourcen [Resources] (1996-2008), Weimer combines the precise form of the square with real nature, because the small square picture blocks each contain seeds of one particular species, all set in paraffin. However, by and large she works solely with technical materials such as steel, silicone, mirror, plastic or Vinnylan industrial hoses. These are employed to create sculptural works that are reminiscent of the primary building blocks of life, such as molecular structures or blood vessels. Sometimes her works are inspired by marine life or by plant structures. Other works present themselves as complex networks that refer to circulatory systems or models in theoretical physics.

In her Mindscapes Weimer illuminates such themes as reflection, development and growth. Inside the coloured picture boxes, glass elements have been arranged on a mirrored background. They form proliferating structures that visualise the complex world of the mind. These works are clear examples of Weimer’s ongoing search for answers in the increasingly complex reality of life, in which everything is interconnected.

The exhibition provides an exemplary insight into the work of Birgitta Weimer with around 30 works.
