Work and reception

Michael Reisch creates large-format photographic works in which not only the photographic production process but, above all, digital image processing play a decisive role. Between 1991 and 2004 the group of works “Architectures” was created, in which he primarily depicts architecture from the 1970s, which he freed of all civilizational clues with the help of the computer. Since 2002 he has created several groups of works, “Landscapes”, 2002–2006, and “New Landscapes”, 2007–2010, in which he turns to the concept of landscape and nature. Since 2010 he has devoted himself to the work groups “Untitled” (Untitled) 8 /, 14 /, 15 /, increasingly to cameraless, abstract or concrete photography against the background of the “digital”. He has been working on the computer-aided simulation of objective photographic images since 2012, and in 2014 the curator Emma Lewis coined the term “inverse photography” in connection with Michael Reisch's work, which refers to the fact that in his work objects or phenomena in “information “But, conversely, information and digital data are now chosen as the starting point for the photographic work process.
