style
The mostly very large format photos by Weinberger were placed in the tradition of the photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher by the French newspaper “ Le Figaro ” . A special feature of his works is an alienation technique that differs distinctly from the Becher school. Weinberger is best known for double-exposure images that capture a scene in both daylight and night light. For this type of reality mapping he uses the term “operational reality” borrowed from physics.
