Between the worlds
Transition, alterations, (ex)change, traverse, cross over, transit.
The works of cyanotype show elusive indications of fragments dissolving into bodies and plants. The transitions are fluid, translucent, and transparent, touching another world, and forming a silent dialogue between different worlds.
The series of works includes over 30 pieces of paper and vat (hand-made paper) in various formats and initiates the work cycle Lebendlandschaften – Tuchfühlung.

Refuges in the multiverse
How much of our inner selves do we share with the world? This question runs through the exhibition cycle ‘Places of Retreat in the Multiverse’.
Based on her observations of small life forms in protective shells, artist Regina Maria Wieser explores the retreat as a life strategy, as an expression of individual perception and collective existence.
Shell and casing shapes, nests, snail shells and nests are reinterpreted in cyanotypes and wax objects – materials that represent light sensitivity, fragility and permeability. The works invite us to reflect on retreat and presence, protection and openness – and on the personal universe in a polyphonic multiverse. (From the laudatory speech – May 2025 – Höchstädt Castle on the Danube).

Landscapes of tissues – a lifelong connection
The fabric of the works of cyanotype – only recognizable as a fabric at a second glance – appear gently formed, like landscapes:
Withdrawing the glance of what lies underneath and, thus, enabling the dialogue between the visible and the imaginable.
The fabric as a life companion and symbol of transience, implies protection, cover, and veiling: Accompanies and clothes us from the beginning to the end of our lives.
The series comprises over 30 works on paper and handmade paper in various formats.

Ear noise
In sculpture, painterly drawing, media techniques, accompanied by poetic texts, the examination of the loud world of sounds and the quiet tones of the human resonating body takes place.

Excerpt from the foreword by Roswitha Zwerger:
“Regina Wieser follows the path of deep involvement with what is seen with great emphasis and an astonishing intensity, persistence, and power. Her works are not the results of volatility or chance. Instead, they are characterized by the fact that she continuously experiments, changes, discards, restarts, and further develops in order to achieve expressive results stemming from the processual nature of her design work.
The artist registers very subtle manifestations in her environment with a distinctive aesthetic perceptiveness. She captures them on camera, followed by an enrichment process of personal sentiments and an inner maturation process that results in an expression using selected and sometimes unconventional means and procedures of design. […]
Thus, Regina Wieser was able to combine the stylistic means of the fine arts with those of the performing arts (dance/ choreography) to a stimulating and convincing symbiosis. By doing so she enables the visibility and experience of the metamorphoses of vegetal elements with the facets of the human worlds of emotions. By using her favoured stylistic means, the artist manages to make the invisible visible and, thus, she brings into focus two elementary levels of human experiences in her artwork. In her works, she dominantly uses the colour red which probably mirrors life par excellence and further symbolizes temperament, energy, and passion. The subtly used magenta, on the other hand, can be considered as representative of compassion and fragility.”

ongoing construction work – sorry for the inconvenience
The warning sign of a large Asian construction site is the eponym of this work cycle/series.
The exhibits change the view and focus on the fragments of images of people and materials. A new formal aesthetic visual language emerges by zooming in and overlapping various photographic painterly techniques. Es entsteht eine neue formal ästhetische Bildsprache. Workers appear to merge either isolated or collectively as a construction group with the construction substance.
The reduction of the photographic elements allow the exhibits to exude a calmness that contrasts the actual affairs. It is an ongoing play with the motif “construction material” that serves as carrier materials on time and as a photographic element other times.
The work cycle includes over 30 works on paper – canvas – construction wood, and construction steel.
