With pictures of the utmost
precision and sharpest focus, which place ordinary, meaningless everyday objects into the forefront, the photographer
Reinhart Mlineritsch opens up an undreamed-of poetic world to the
viewer. Reinhart
Mlineritsch is a magician of photography, who reminds us that we don’t
really know the world around us. With
the curious view of a discoverer and the skill of a photographer at the
height of his art, he explores our surroundings as if they were unknown
territory and everyday life were a terra incognita.
The objects that Reinhart Mlineritsch photographs in such a
precise and technically perfect manner – whether the thin skin of ice
on a pond, a sandy hill covered sparsely with hair, a disposed-of
appliance, or industrial waste products – none of them are sensational
or spectacular in and of themselves.
They only become sensational and spectacular through the manner
in which this photographer captures them and makes them newly visible
for us. With his both
precise and poetic pictures, Reinhart Mlineritsch reminds us that things
remain in a state of flux and that we could also see the world in a
completely different way. |
