ART IS

USELESS!Oscar Wilde

40 years of the career of a photographic artist, it is also

40 years of a technologic evolution,40 years of visual art history,40 years of unique instances,

40 years of passion.

Her photography is a true testimony of 40 years of technological changes with analogical photos to numeric, 40 years of photographic history that has come through time. As a reporter to a more artistic manner, 40 years of the passionate passage of this artist life who stated out a simple and humble “special photographer” in the movie industry, 40 years later she is still “behind the camera”

What if Oscar was wrong ?

1973 TO 2013career in image

1973 Photoreporter

1973 - 1986 On / Off

1989 Série Noire

In 1973 at the age of 16, Ulla Reimer helped at local daily newspaper offi ce based in Frankfort, Germany. She accepted to do an article on the city. Her senior colleagues were surprised at her remarkable and unique talent at such a young age. They continued giving her odd jobs, and encouraged her to continue.She continued on to become a worldwide photo journalist.

In 1973, Ulla Reimer was sent to Rome to photograph Sophia Loren. Touched by her style, Sophia Loren hired her to become her personal photographer to cover the opening of her fi lm and fi lming of her second.She also covered many musical events with artists such as The Rolling Stones, Ella Fitzegarld.

One year later, she went on to become special photographer and portraitist for a number of well-known international worldwide movie stars and fi lm companies.

Her fi rst personal artistic series that was infl uenced by the cinema.Ulla opted for a particular method to colour her images, dating from the early 20th century.She used translucent aquarelle on her prints, obtaining a colour which became one with the images. This method was considered unique at the time. Her work was exhibited for the fi rst time at Lucernaire, the national art complex in Paris.

40 years of photographic images seen through the eyes of a female photographer.

1993-1995 Eclairs

1991, Ulla did a series as an homage to surrealistic painters. It was a photographic wizardry as each image were taken with only one shot using artifi cial lighting without prop or superposing.

«ETRE ou ne pas paraître» is an invitation to share emotions, dreams, interrogation and spiritual quest.

Eclairs represents 160 shots taken over 3 years. After a trial run of one week in Arizona at the unused airplane depot ,Lufthansa was convinced by Ulla’s talent and decided to sponsor her work and associate the exhibition to their collection of Max Ernst, .Thanks to the sponsorship and the freedom given to her by Lufthansa, Editions Cantz edited these series of four themes.

These series of image showed yet again a new vision of Ulla Reimer work, always ahead and constantly renewing her techniques .The images were breath of fresh air in the world of photography, contemporary and pure.For the fi rst time, the images developed in the dark room by Ulla presented her images directly on unframed foam –backed plywood. Today this technique is use often but at the time, she was one of the fi rst using this method.

1990 Etre ou ne pas Paraître

1998 Jaléo

1998 Jaleo

2009 Rencontre

2010-2011 (In)Organique

Even though Ulla is trained Analogical Photographer and loves the atmosphere of working in the dark room, which for her is magic and unique. She has moved on to the use of digital photography combining both methods in her work.

«Rencontre» is the cobination of two technical univers (analog and digital), and a poetic approach of poesie, inspired by «l’été» a novel of Albert Camus and his discription about light in the south of France.

Highway to Eden

In 2009 during a humanitarian project Ulla met Caroline Carles.

Seeing the work of Caroline, Ulla is amazed by the sensibilté and the images that emerges, however, carried out with extreme rigor of refl ection.It will offer a year later to Caroline to combine their work in a joint exhibition

2010

A singular light: its variations construct, deconstruct, recons-truct, and purify the vista that unfolds from black to white through all ranges of grey. More than just a stable centre casting over all the captured shapes in their entirety (being then too quickly read, recognized, classifi ed and forgotten), this light unhinges our landmarks in time and space with its dislocated transformations.Alternative perspectives of curves, angles and lines are thus developed, transcending the contradiction between the visual universe and magical visions of the sky.

Looking for new horizons , «Highway to Eden» stared in France et was fi nished in South Korea

2012 South KoreaThe year 2012 brought Ulla to Seoul in South Korea where loves the atmosphere and found strong inspiration. Fascinated by the culture and language, the dynamic people, she decided to move for a while to Seoul working on new projects.

“The most beautiful feeling in the world is the sense of mystery. Anyone who has never experienced this emotion, his

eyes are closed”. - Albert Einstein

“My artworks were inspired from the Korean fl ag, in which there

is a symbol of Yin-yang. Yin and yang sound opposing forces

but they are complementary forces. For example, light cannot

be understood if darkness doesn’t exist, and shadow cannot

exist without light. Most of my artworks combine nature and

artifi cial objects and that make the mutual whole. For me, Yin-

yang is a mystery that makes me discover this city, paint my

grey palette with colors and express new things with freedom.”

Orson Welles said that the art is useless. But I think the art is necessary to live a life especially in a world where everything moves fast. Art is an escape from everyday life and a door to another world. Imagination and emotion, which are the main sources of art, give your life a full of energy. That is why I create artworks.

And also had the idea to bring together art and business companies.

The fi st project was about Korean sewing fac-tories .Started by a freelance work for Orgdot social enterprice to renove the website of Disigner Makers fi nish with an exhibition, pho-tos, installation and presentation . A new way to show production and products of a company.

2014 South Korea

The exhibition was helt in Geumcheon Atrs Hall

‘’

Ulla Reimer bought her fi rst camera 40 years ago at the age of 16 and never stopped taking photos ever since. First a reporter, she then became a worldwide portraitist especially of actors and fi lm directors in Hollywood and fi nally dedicated herself to her inner passion : art work.

She has taken place in many exhibitions throughout the world, mainly Japan, China, USA, Germany, Korea and France where she has spent the most of her life. From the beginning, she has always been interested in lines and architecture. Although her passion for the magical atmosphere around the development process in the dark room has never extinguished, her recent work has evolved as she now uses both analogical and digital cameras.

Over the past years her images used to show mise-en-scene with an architectural background. Nowadays her work goes towards more minimalism and abstraction and spiritual work Maybe a sign that getting older, one leaves aside the unnecessary to concentrate on the very heart of things.
