"Die Quadratur des Weibes" is a collection of works by German photographer Frank Rheinboldt. Active since the 1980s, Rheinboldt has explored the relationship between body and image through portraits and fashion photography, primarily focusing on female figures. The title of this book literally translates to "The Square of Women," and is a metaphorical phrase that evokes the mathematical problem of calculating the area of a circle (Quadratur des Kreises). Captured with strong light and contrast, and against simple backgrounds, the lines and postures of the body stand out. The photographs, which present the presence of women as graphic images while suppressing decorative elements, resonate with the fashion photography and portraiture of 1990s Europe. This collection reconstructs the classic theme of female figures from a sculptural and contemplative perspective.
