"Photo book 'Trial and Error' is an accumulation of artworks, photographs, videos and installations that Reinis LISMANIS has made over a period of six years.
LISMANIS has been exploring photographic production and the traditional systems that lie behind the scenes of its processes and methods.
In a self-reflective manner, his work both acknowledges and challenges the conventional structures of image making, exhibition display systems and artistic production in general.
This publication is a comprehensive overview of the artist’s recent practice, in a non-hierarchical way mixing snapshots from his studio and trips to various cities around the world with documentation of exhibitions the artist has recently held." (publisher's note, © Skinnerboox, 2019)
“I have found photography, in its classical mode of being, to be an extremely fertile ground to stand on, albeit a limiting one as well.
As part of my explorations, looking at the intrinsic elements of production – be they technological, social, economical – is often the point of departure,
and everything is as important as everything else.” (© Reinis LISMANIS, 2019)
