Ulla Reimer

Ulla Reimer bought her first camera 40 years
ago at the age of 15 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, Germany
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. Maybe a sign that
getting older, one leaves aside the unnecessary to
concentrate on the very heart of things.
