In his video works and series of drawings, he explores the continuities of social oppression and experiences of upheaval within the historical context of formerly divided Germany. Weilandt’s works have been featured in numerous exhibitions and were honoured with the Young Art Award Berlin (2023). This year, he is a scholarship holder of Stiftung Kunstfonds (2026). Together with the director and performer Karoline Stegemann, he founded the group OST format in 2024 to support and initiate documentary-artistic projects dealing with themes of East German and Eastern European identity and history.

 Werktitel: Letzte Kumpel

In the video work Letzte Kumpel / Last Miners (2025), four former miners from the Mansfeld region in Saxony-Anhalt talk about their working lives and the disappearance of their industry. Over 800 years of mining shaped the landscape and the people of the Mansfeld mining district. When the mines were closed in the early 1990s, a gap emerged in the region’s sense of identity that has yet to be filled.
