Portrait

In her context-related installations and videos, Delphine Reist reflects on the modern, engineered environment between function and dysfunction, humanity and paranoia. She addresses the failure of social ideas and desires, creating the image of a parallel world hidden in the abysses of this failure.
Another theme of Delphine Reist is the relationship between surveillance, control and their opposites freedom and anarchy. For her presentation she draws on forms of Pop and Minimal Art and uses a cool, sober language that turns the symbols of power, technical progress and social prosperity into absurdity.
Office chairs seem to circle aimlessly through the room by themselves. In the assembly hall of an abandoned factory, lights go on and off as if by magic. Delphine Reist’s works lead a life of their own that eludes the control and functional constraints of our time. In doing so, the artist reveals how progress and the technologicalization of the environment have released forces from people that have developed a momentum of their own that can no longer be stopped. Her installations therefore create a subversive, reflective image of a world created by man for man that is in the process of emancipating itself from
