Specialist note

'The interiors are theatre sets. Matthias Weischer provides the props, then rearranges and embellishes them, revealing both surprising contrasts and new formal interconnections. The visual spaces are shunting yards of the past, where the artist gives directions from the signal tower'
(M. Stegmann, 'Which Memory is speaking?' in Matthias Weischer, Malerei Painting,Ostfildern-Ruit 2007, p. 17).
