"Exitsurf is the option to ignite your life!"
Florian Reinhardt
At Exitsurf we believe that art and surfing are not only expressions of passion and freedom, but also offer transformative experiences. Our brand serves as a bridge between these two worlds. Artist Florian Reinhardt's Exit story is now told by Tim Meyer-Ricks, former media manager and Eisbach surfer, and shared by surfers around the world to inspire people to find their own Exit - be it in art, on the waves or on their own creative journey. We are a community of surfers, artists and dreamers who celebrate the connection between art and passion for surfing, inspiring change and creative adventure. Our purpose is to change lives for the better and encourage creative discovery. Welcome to Exitsurf – where art and surfing become an expression of freedom, inspiration and the courage to change.
More about the artist Florian Reinhardt
Florian Reinhardt is a director, producer and filmmaker. For his job, Florian Reinhardt, *1978 races around the world and leads a fastpaced, intense life. On his many travels he unconsciously photographed EXIT signs, omnipresent and internationally understandable. This first art series of Readymades features a collection of 1024 EXIT signs. These photographs, intentionally without affect, depersonalized and repetitive, offer a focused perspective in a world oversaturated with signs, spotlighting omnipresent symbols with universal significance. Florian Reinhardt explores the meanings of these signs, giving industrial, functional objects a special narrative context. Charged with his personal experience and a philosophy that views choosing EXIT as a deliberate life decision, his photos become portraits of selfdefinition and character. His work embodies the quest for personal growth in the present and advocates for a continuous journey towards selfimprovement.
Florian Reinhardt’s philosophy:
As long as we have the freedom to choose our EXIT, there‘s always a way to achieve our dreams, desires, and visions.
