Early life and education

Reisch was born in Aachen. [7] He studied at "Stadsacademie voor toegepaste Kunsten" Maastricht in 1985 and at Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam 1986 – 91. 1991 he was enrolled in postgraduate studies at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Bernd Becher.

Career

In 1990 Reisch was Artist in Residence at the Foundation Cartier in Paris. He created a series of works, "architectures", between 1991 and 2004, which depict mainly architecture of the 1970s. In 2002 he received a scholarship from the Foundation Kunst und Kultur des Landes Nordrheinwestfalen. Between 2002 and 2006, Reisch worked on a body of work titled "landscapes". His second group of works, "new landscapes", were created from 2007 to 2010, after he received a scholarship from Stiftung Kunstfonds in Bonn. [8] Since 2010 Reisch has combined fully digitally generated abstract works with landscape photography in his exhibitions.

Reisch's works are large-sized photographs, often highly processed by digital editing techniques. [9] [10] He uses these techniques to erase civilizing signs and marks from the buildings photographed.
