Roger Reist

The photo artist, Roger Reist, reflects the world around us and in his images in a magical way: "Recognizing societal patterns, transforming them through my images, feels like catharsis to me." Reist sees his work as a form of aesthetic purification, where he identifies social structures and transforms them into something new and liberating through his images. Celebrating beauty and paying passionate, erotic homage to the female body is his "tribute to life".

Freed from the artistic constraints of fashion photography, Roger Reist strives to break norms in snapshots, while developing an awareness that everything is subject to a creative process. In this system-free space, beyond definitions, something incomprehensible emerges that cannot be put into words. Those who can, give their theories away and recognize that life takes the lead.

For Reist, the mobility of things reveals "being" in its most original power. For him, the essence lies in the moment of condensation from "becoming" into "being". Focusing on ubiquitous change is at the heart of his artistic expression, as stillness is transient, but movement is infinite.

Reist's perspectives know no ideal, but testify to a natural self-evidence. In this universal state where nothing needs to be explained, but everything can be, his innermost self manifests. His art is a journey of discovery that captures the diversity of life and the beauty of constant change.
