Reiner Riedler (1968, Austria) studied ethnology and attended the College for Photography. As a documentary photographer, he deals with important contemporary issues, focusing on people and their environment while questioning the value systems. He often visits the periphery of living spaces in search of the fragile beauty of human existence with its desires and abysses. His recent conceptual works question the nature of photography and the way we view the world around us. Riedler’s work has been exhibited in numerous countries at photo festivals, galleries, and museums. He was a contributor to magazines and journals. In 2017 he founded Reflektor, an independent photobook label, and photography platform. He is also a co-founder of Artscope Vienna, a platform focusing on the VR visualisation of art spaces.
