Riederer's work is characterized by the representation of technical objects that he found in the 1980s and 1990s, especially in the field of flying. Wings, tail units, rotors were his favorite material. The objects are viewed and analyzed from their construction. Your movement is included. Aerodynamics and speed are made visible. Riederer's pictures, mostly executed on paper, are drawn up, but the layered build-up of color and line layers creates a great density and subtle painterly effects.

In the 1990s the experience of speed became more and more an experience of space. Architectures, half-timbered constructions, house facades and bridges appear as technical structures, as space-spanning and space-opening structures that are often characterized by an unstable equilibrium. Beams, girders and supports, rods and struts turn the space into a space.

Charcoal drawings have been created since around 2004. The black and white is used consistently. The things shown, which can only be roughly assigned and named, appear sharp, and yet they belong in the realm of shadows and schemes.

Photographic work has accompanied Riederer's work from the start. His recordings, often reworked with chalk and acrylic, rely on the camera's potential for alienation. She is characterized by extreme cut-outs, close-up views, isolation of the object and collage-like compositions.
