If fox and hare were to say goodnight, 2025
GIG - Galerie im Glashaus, Ottensheim
If fox and hare were to say goodnight is an installation in which Lisa Reiter includes the space as framework for her objects and paperworks. With these, she positions herself as an observer in the sphere between public and domestic spaces, looking at topics such as social boundaries, ownership, and belonging.
grids, breath and a windowsill, 2024
Art Quarter Budapest
site-specific outdoor installation, later translated to an indoor gallery setting
paper, cardboard, tempera, wallpaste, fabric, found objects
Lisa Reiters work „Grids, breath and a windowsill“ is a site specific installation, which is located between the public and the domestic, using found materials as precisely made objects and images that build a frame around the grasp of her observations in the surrounding area in Budapest.

Insulation boards from a house that have never been clad with a facade and have been exposed to the weather and the events surrounding the building over the years, are now found in the interior, (re)assembled as sculptures.

finding room between opposites, 2023
spacial intervention
found and already damaged spots on the walls of one floor at Kunstuniversität Linz, Brückenkopfgebäude Hauptplatz 6
deep primer, dispersion paint, dispersion adhesive, nylon flocking
dimensions variable
Finding room between opposites includes on the one hand the search for and on the other hand the visualization of all damaged areas on the walls of the entire second floor of one of the two „Brückenkopf“ buildings on Linz‘s main square. Those buildings were built between 1940 and 1943 and are part of the monumental design of the banks of the Danube in Linz planned during the Nazi regime times.
Today it houses the main location of the University of Art and Design Linz, and I am concerned about the artistic practice in such a historically charged building, the use of which turns out to be a fragile situation for me during my work.

weil die Geste banal ist, 2021
Installation
based on the poetry collection „Mutantengarten“ by Volha Hapeyeva, Afro-Asian Institute Graz
dimensions approx. 380 x 380 x 150 cm
kerosene wax, pantyhose, nylon
Based on individually selected phrases throughout „Mutantengarten“, Lisa Reiter has created an expansive installation that attempts to atmospherically approximate the mood of the poems.
The clear construct, the net in the room on which everything hangs, relates to the structure and clear rhythm of Volha Hapeyeva‘s poems. The many individual wax cubes are suspended from this net and determine the overall form of the installation with their own weight. On the one hand, all the cubes are identical in their dimensions, and yet none of them resembles the others due to the soft black drawing of the elements made of fine pantyhose.
schwerelosigkeit
hebt dich auf - du fliegst in den raum
bis es zeit ist zu landen
innerhalb fester grenzen
in einem konkreten land
einer wohnung
einem anderen körper
Lisa Reiter attempts to create an expression with her work that is clear and determined, but also delicate and full of empathy - just like Volha Hapeyeva‘s poems.
If you set the entire installation in vibration, all the individual parts vibrate and it seems as if they are communicating with each other as well as with the outside world.
