In a wordless, pared-back dialogue, this video explores the artistic universe of Paul Wiedmer, a master of iron and fire, which he wields as primordial elements of creation and transformation.
Made on the occasion of his exhibition in Fribourg, the film deliberately forgoes music, relying instead on the pure soundscape of the act of making: the screech of metal, the living breath of the site that is home to his sculptures, and the crackle of the flames that animate and forge matter.
Conceived as a tribute to Wiedmer’s creative genius, the project is at the same time a celebration of his long-standing bond with photographer Sandro Vannini, who over the years has documented the artist’s process and oeuvre with a keen and perceptive eye.
An audiovisual journey that reveals the power of matter and the ritual of creation.
