Artists' Realities. The World as a Construction: Martin Brüger - Maurizio Cattelan - Lois Renner - Wolfgang Ellenrieder - Veronika Veit, in: True lies. Lies and other Truths in Contemporary Photography, Bern 2004, p. 28 - 51 , Atelier Verlag
ISBN 3-907430-03-4
German / English
"Lois Renner constructs his own pictorial reality. He does not only erect 'mind buildings', he builds a real architectural image generating machine. His constructivist method leads to a kind of 'observation model" that potentially represents the whole world. Renner's space, a new concept of 'hollow', of the vacuum, or - baroque - infinity is an imaginary space.
Photography is the first layer of the visible; behind that there are more layers of 'pictorial' realities to come. Lois Renner stages reality, and simultaneously relentlessly documents a reality, that never existed. He garantuees that the beholder sees, or believes he sees, something that is, in fact, only emerging from the contradiction of perception and imagination..." (p. 40)
