"PHOTOSHOP MONTAGES THAT QUESTION REALITY"

by maxi reiner

What makes her image editing art special is the process,

a combination of self-portraiture, performance, photography and her individual editing style.

–

From photography to digital artwork:

"The hard part is that you are working with an already existing image. You have to detach yourself from it and yet the moment and the feeling must not get lost. You could also say that the edited work illustrates the emotions." - maxi

"For me, each new Photoshop series is a roller coaster ride of confrontations, emotions, self-awareness and reflection." - maxi

Imagine:

"First you paint yourself, dress yourself, then you pose and photograph yourself. After all this, you choose only one photo. You decide which photo is art for you.

You look at this photo for hours, changing its appearance again and again.

Beautiful and ugly do not exist in this artistic process.
