Landscapes 2002

Location: Helix, floor 2 

Reisch, originally a sculptor, made these computer prints for the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry as a counterweight to the abstract and rational world of university and science. It looks like a real landscape, but nothing is further from the truth. Reisch compiles the picture from various, real nature photos. As in all his computer work,

here, too, he avoids the presence of human and animal life, nor does one find any buildings in the picture.

Reisch, who studied at the Art Academy in Stuttgart, clearly shows his social commitment as an artist in much of his work. A continuous theme is his concern for the world. Questions like 'What will current developments lead to?' are not foreign to him. Thus, as a sculptor he makes a series of strongly aggressive images, modeled after existing street gangs.
