Saskia Reis (DE) is a visual artist and cultural journalist based between Berlin and Bavaria, Germany. Her papercut photo collages examine human complexity and the multidimensionality of character. Reis holds a Master’s degree with distinction from the University of the Arts London. Alongside her artistic practice and interdisciplinary projects, she teaches at Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts, and mentors students at the University of the Arts London. She is a member of Berlin-based AFF Galerie.
At Foto Tallinn, Reis presents a diverse selection of street scenes from Cairo and Alexandria, as well as a previously unseen series of portraits of artists and creatives from Egypt – both rendered in her signature papercut photo collage style. Shot during a 2024 fellowship, Reis began reworking her images in 2025; her works are printed on photo paper, hand-cut with a scalpel, then spaced and arranged in object frames, allowing the viewer to discover layers beneath the surface level.
