Man Sieht Nur Die Im Licht Sind - Die Andern Sieht Man Nicht

A hyper-realistic yet theatrically staged scene rendered in oil and acrylic on MDF panel, Schmidberger's work depicts figures emerging from and dissolving into dramatic pools of light and shadow. The title, borrowed from Brecht's *The Threepenny Opera*, translates to "You can only see those who stand in the light — the others you cannot see," lending the composition a deeply social and philosophical weight. With his signature cinematic precision, Schmidberger explores visibility, power, and the unseen margins of human existence.
