The controversy between being and pretence is the centre of his work.
He takes pictures from different surroundings, combines and edits them and displays them in different locations. Projections are being reflected, pose questions and trigger emotions. While observing stories emerge - continuous stories.

"I think to work on a sculpture is a slow sensitive equal conversation with the material. I believe wood or stone silently, gently communicates through advises by giving different options toward shaping, carving, and changes. It keeps a permanent continuous, concentrated, fresh awake act in the person between play and seriousness.
The sculpture is capable for a complete communication and still does not talk too much."

Reinthaler’s work addresses systems for measuring time while focussing on the subjective activities of long-lasting work processes
that he translates primarily into stone, paper and light media. He models on the notion of ‚temporality’ by engraving fleeting letters
onto an almost anachronistic medium like granite, or by continually testing models of „timing“ with techniques of self-recapitulation.

Art comes from the body and becomes the body. Kairos breath helps in this process as well as the Muses of daily life.
I refer to myself as an oneironaut of art, since most of my texts, ideas and creations spring from the intermediate land of not yet sleeping
or almost dreaming.
Art is a burning, a flowing, a constant change, a decision that is taken out of hand and placed in the hand at the same time.
When it is burning, you let it blaze. Art knows no back door and is still an opening. Doors and windows are recurring elements in my work.

"My previous work encompasses complex fields of work such as drawing, painting, sculpture, object, spatial installation,
art in public space, photography, video - it stretches over five decades. Mostly they are series, series in which phenomena of internal and
external nature are analyzed, transformed, supplemented and expanded. My work proves attitude, spirit of research, joy in experiment,
transmedial interest, mostly technical perfection, it is based consistently on its own specifications, not on the interests of the art market.
Visionary ideas often determine the content of the projects during lengthy execution processes. Persistent work leads to solutions that sometimes
raise something new. Feel me in a big arc that is slowly bending."

"In 1967 Otto Eder invited me for the first time to Krastal for a few days. The still untouched nature, the marble quarry,
as well as the energy of the artist colleagues, who often came from far for realize their ideas, here in isolation, in the stone,
the community of like-minded people, who worked full of idealism, energy and hope under the most difficult conditions,
impressed and fascinated me. The Krastal was an open place of encounter, freedom and hospitality, a place to which
I often return to realize my art projects."
