i am interested in deconstructing.
i am interested in repetitive patterns and shapes.
i am interested in what happens when repetitive patterns and shapes are looked at from different angles and perspectives.
i am interested in the process of re defining and the possibility of rethinking the characteristics of shapes.
i am interested in the concept of series.
i am interested in colour.
i am interested in how colour can be studied in series.
i am interested in the arbitrary of it all.
patterns and geometry are omnipresent in our lives and by experimenting with different perspectives, we challenge our imagination. and by challenging our imagination we achieve a more profound understanding of what surrounds us.
manipulating the monotonous repetitive algorithms in geometry, which we encounter on a daily basis, by alternating between various points of view, individual shapes can be found within these patterns. these shapes, which have been forged by a different perspective and special distortion, are the premise of my serial studies. what follows is a series of photographs of constructed shapes and colour combinations which are being observed and assembled from an, again, newly found angle.
the questions which are being asked through her process are, what happens to these shapes, individually and as a group when being put into different constellations? how do they influence each other‘s characteristics and behaviour from each other? is the original statement of the pattern lost or has it just evolved? what, as we the observer, see in these new arrangements?
through the practice of series i study the many possibilities of interaction. colour and colour patterns are an integral part of my work. they enable me to add a different set of emotions, moods, and depth to their newly formed surrounding. by using three dimensional objects and converting them into two dimensional photographs, the result generates an optical illusion of movement and vibrancy.

(*1989) vianca reinig was born in the south of germany, but spent part of her childhood and early teens in sheffield, the north of england. during her time studying art history at the university of vienna, austria, her interest in photography grew. she quickly changed education and moved to frankfurt am main, germany, to study photography at the gutenberg school.
the curiosity for patterns and repetition began at an early age with her many location changes. through the constant exposure to new surroundings, finding similarities, not only in human behaviour but also sceneries, became a habit. this approach has translated into her work where she attends to question what happens to patterns and shapes when you start manipulating them through perspectives and begin deconstructing them.
