For the exhibition “The Hidden Moment – Portraits of Artists”, photographer and designer Benedikt Walther accompanied artists at work.
He portrayed eight artists from the Ostalb region during their creative process: Wiebke Bader, Alfred Bast, Andreas Böhm, Paul Groll, Heidi Hahn, Klaus Joas, Jessica Rühmann, and Ines Tartler.
Benedikt Walther not only shows the artists, but also the creation of the works of art. Art is often created in secret, in the rooms of the artists, in creative isolation. The viewer of the works of art cannot usually experience this process. He is always confronted with the work of art that has already been completed. "The Hidden Moment" brings the creative process to light. The photographs bring details and atmosphere to the fore - documentary, subtle and aesthetic.
Together with the photographs by Bendikt Walther, the artists portrayed each show one of their works of art. The comparison between process and completion is exciting, because each work of art tells a story, not only about the artist but also about the viewer.
