GASTON WELISCH

A New World

12.06.23

02.06.23

 FREE ENTRY 

Gaston Welisch's work explores the stories of everyday people in mundane moments, capturing moments of joy and sorrow found in the passage of time. Welisch uses cinema-style framing to suggest a larger narrative beyond the captured moment, creating empathy and contemplation of the intersection between the viewers' own lives and the experience of this "new world."

"I am hoping to create empathy so that viewers can consider these characters’ lives from their own perspectives by portraying these people as individuals and not merely part of a crowd," said Gaston Welisch. "This body of work focuses on older people, and by emphasizing their gestures and expressions, I am attempting to encourage viewers to reflect on the full lives that these people have lived."

The photographs in "A New World" feature small prints on large paper like snapshots, while others fill the frame for larger immersive scenes. Through the accompanying self-published book, viewers are invited to delve deeper into the wider body of work and contemplate the fleeting moments captured in each photograph.
