Pour l'introduction: Né au Luxembourg en 1976, Marc Wilwert est un photographe dont les œuvres sont imprégnées du concept de lumière, explorant ses effets physiques, son symbolisme, ainsi que ses implications culturelles et métaphotographiques. Après avoir décroché son diplôme en photographie à l'Institut Supérieur des Beaux-Arts Saint-Luc Liège, il a approfondi ses compétences lors d'une formation professionnelle d'un an au London College of Printing. Ses séries majeures telles que "Nuit Blanche", "Chemins de Fraude", "Etre e(s)t paraître", "Anges", "Illuminances", "Twilight", "Zero Sun" et "Memento" ont été présentées dans diverses galeries et institutions, notamment la Galerie Clairefontaine, la Galerie d'Art Armand Gaasch et le Cercle Cité au Luxembourg, ainsi que la Biennale internationale de la photographie et des arts visuels BIP 2010 en Belgique. Certaines de ses œuvres sont également conservées dans les archives du CNA (Centre National de l'Audiovisuel) au Luxembourg. En outre, en 2005, le CNA a édité son travail sur le sport du stock-car au Luxembourg, sous le titre "Car Wars". www.shoot.lu
