Reiner Riedler’s series Fake Holidays, takes us to the heart of a society of standardized leisure where foreign places are fabricated into local spaces in which we can stage our own life histories. Replicas of the greatest touristic landscapes in the world discard space, time and reality, arousing a sense of adventure and a taste for the exotic without the journey or the risk.
As Jens Lindworsky mentions in Reiner Riedler’s book, Fake Holidays, “Florida’s Disneyworld hosts more visitors than Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Israel combined. New and more refined illusionary worlds are added every year, and the simulation business is booming.” Whether in China, Germany or in the United States, Riedler shows a dramatization of these spaces, towns and lives. A honeymoon in Paris is now possible when staying in China; experiencing the unique charm of an island vacation is even more perfect just few kilometers from Berlin. These lives dreamt in prefabricated spaces enhance the illusion that everything is possible and we can evade ourselves without even leaving. Riedler’s work was recently selected to be part of the exhibition, Dreamlands – From Amusement Parks to Cities of Tomorrow at Centre Pompidou in Paris from May 5th to August 9th, 2010.
