Walter Riedweg (Luzern, 1955) lives in Rio de Janeiro.
Riedweg and Maurício Dias have been working together since 1993. Building on their earlier experiences, in the visual arts (Dias) and in theater and music (Riedweg), their work is decidedly interdisciplinary and is produced in close collaboration with specific groups in society. Displaying an intense formal interest in video installation, the work of Dias & Riedweg investigates how private psychologies affect public space, with issues of alterity as its central topic.
