"As objects, Birgitta Weimer's works may be simply beautiful works of art, but as things they shake up our familiar orders and measurements of the world (Kehlmann) and thus also demonstrate our own position as subjects in the face of hers.

That is their pictorial act. It becomes possible at the seemingly provisional end of a journey that they have completed when they appear in our place as Weimer's works and beings."
