LANDED: the series is a collection of film sequences that runs for 3 minutes each and are recorded on travel with a static 16mm camera. Based on the most extreme Western points along the European coast led to his “finisterae” land's end project. LANDED is about a space that is likely to be somewhere in 'nowhere land', without trying to sell something. Not an entertaining story for the cinema, not a life experience, nor a fashion. This experimental films doesn't take a political stand or address a social question either. It are poems of pictures that create an imaginative emptiness for memories and thoughts - of its author, as well as of the audience. With the premiere of his latest film 3x1.

The American artist Mario M. Muller compared this filmed poem to the Japanese ‘Haiku’, and contributed his ‘Orion series’. In their own way, his key sculptures reflect something of Wiesinger’s puzzling play with locations, objects and characters. “The world is a system of signs”, Wiesinger says, “you have the freedom to see what you want, and you can solve the puzzle, but only for yourself”.
3X1
3x1 could be seen as a serial of "LANDED". Three episodes of three minutes long reels filmed in one of Telemach Wiesinger’s 16 mm camera have joined a soundtrack by the composer Tobias Schwab.
