SWEAT
I am happy to inform you, that my book SWEAT has come into existence! It was a very long journey to finish this body of work (2012-2019). And to be honest, it´s yery different compared to my documentary work. But it was important for me to do the project. Sometimes you feel that you have to try something different...
Huge thank you to all who have participated in the project! Thank you to the fabulous Ania Naliecka-Miclach for the wonderful design!!! And the Alexander Atanassov for the impressive printing!!!And of course to the whole team of REFLEKTOR!
Vreni Hockenjos writes in her text for the book:
"Photographer Reiner Riedler has discovered sweat as an artistic form of expression. Fascinated by the image captured by the sweat on his T-shirt after jogging - like a spontaneous self-portrait - he has used the sweat produced by others to create a series of images. In order to achieve this, he approached the renowned Fraunhofer Institute in Munich which provided him with a special sensory material that could be placed above or underneath his perspiring models. In doing so, Riedler used the sweaty body as a kind of rubber stamp to create life-size negatives. He then photographed these and transformed them into monochrome paper prints.“that it´s finished. Many thanks to all these people who made it possible
MEMORY DIAMONDS
My new book is out, published at REFLEKTOR. I am so happy

NEW PROJECTS
I started to work on a few new projects this year. My photographic approach is getting a bit more wider. For a while I have been feeling that I needed to overcome the limitations of the photography I have been doing for a while. I feel more open now - the reference to what has been "ça a été" is still essential for my photography. The first step was THE LIFESAVING MACHINES, now I follow up with SWEAT.
