Reiner Riedler
May 03, 2010 - Jun 03, 2010
Heartgalerie Paris presents Reiner Riedler's solo show - his second exhibition in France.
"When wishes are out of reach, simulation is taking over our leisure time and our holidays. Imaginary worlds are created, often under massive technological exertion, in order to offer us experience as reproducible merchandise. Although the quality of these adventures on demand sometimes proves to be rather dubious, the boom does shed light on one thing: the yearnings and drams underlying people's daily lives." - Jens Lindworsky
Reiner Reidler was born in Austria in 1968. He went to Vienna in 1989, with the original intention of studying ethnology. He then attended a college for photography in Vienna and decided to dedicate himself solely to photography.
He first worked for periodicals and magazines. His pictures were published in magazines such as National Geographic, Stern, The New York Times, Newsweek, Fortune, Le Monde 2, etc.
Several projects which took him mainly to Eastern Europe and Russia were subsequently published in book form. The following books appeared: Albanien, Leben an der Peripherie (Albania Life on the Periphery), 2001; Ukraine. Fotografien (Ukraine. Photographs), 2003; Gesturmete Festung Europa (The Stormed Fortress of Europe), 2007.
As a documentary photographer, he deals with important topics of the present day. His view always centers on the human being in his or her environment. Reiner Riedler's work has been shown in numerous countries at photo festivals, galleries and museums.
His last project (begin in 2005-2009) is dedicated to the topic of simulation: "Fake Holidays" has by now been shown in many places including Kunsthalle Schirn in Frankfurt, Centre Pompidou in Paris, at the European Month of Photography exhibitions in Paris and Bratislava, and at Visa pour l'image in Perpignan.
