Showroom (2003)
Solo exhibition, Columbus Art Foundation, Schloss Montfort, Langenargen

The exhibition presented "hubot," a digitally modeled figure based on the artist's own features, moving through both fictional and filmed real spaces. The figure has since been developed further across a number of works.

"Was ist heute schon real? Eine digital erschaffene männliche Figur, die unverkennbar seine eigenen Züge trägt, durchmisst fiktive wie auch filmisch dokumentierte reale Räume." (Monika Spiller, Südkurier, 2003)

Der Berg (2002)
Group exhibition, Kunstverein Heidelberg

The exhibited work shows the same mountain range photographed from its northern and southern sides, mounted on two adjoining rotating cylinders. The matching horizon lines and diverging foregrounds set up a recurring, cyclical sequence rather than a single, fixed view.

"Es ist ein und derselbe Gebirgszug, der sich da auf zwei nebeneinanderstehenden Walzen langsam vor unseren Augen abrollt — zwei Seiten derselben Medaille." (Sarah Debatin, Katalogtext, 2002)

8. Bayerischer Fotopreis der Danner Stiftung (1998)
Exhibition, Fotomuseum im Münchner Stadtmuseum

Awarded the Special Prize of the 8th Bayerischer Fotopreis, this exhibition presented "Some Bodies," a screen-printed cube assembled from minimally shifted photographic views of a single motif, alongside related works exploring photography's relationship to sculptural and serial form.

"Weilands Kuben bestehen nur aus Oberfläche." (Heinz Schütz, Katalogtext, 1998)

"Es ist, als ob man durch eine schräg gestellte Jalousie […] Einblick in eine Peep-Show bekommen würde. Verändert man den Blickwinkel, so schwindet […] der auf einen Kubus komprimierte Akt. Sein antierotischer Zauberkörperkubus ist nun […] im Fotomuseum des Stadtmuseums zu sehen." (Birgit Sonna, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 1998)
