----- VOID -----
The VOID series by Peter Weiler was an autobiographical project prepared along his thesis at School of Visual Arts, New York. Weiler's family had an ambivalent approach to photography. One grandmother was an avid shutter-bug, while the other burnt all the photos of that side of the family. Missing photos contrasting with memories kept alive by generations in visual records were the center theme of the project. The slide projector projecting an empty frame, missing or there is no more photo in the carousel? We have reached the end.
Weiler exhibited the work from his project at the Amercican Hungarian Library and Historical Society in April 2022.
