Quote from Weiss

“ Perhaps then the pictures are not that bad, because they are less likely to mislead you into the false assumption that things are what they are. "

reception

While Dagmar Weiss' participation in exhibitions and festivals tends to remain within the narrow framework of those interested in art, the constant film work for the Arte broadcaster gives her a large number of television viewers with each of her clips and thus an ever greater degree of awareness.
