Sebastian Riemer: Press Paintings

An act of media archaeology: revealing the inauthenticity of photography as a representational medium

German artist Sebastian Riemer (born 1982) explores press photography from the last century, revealing how the editing and retouching process transforms an image. His meticulous black-and-white appropriations of these found images blur the boundary between photography and painting, documentation and invention.
