Friedericke Von Rauch
Classical angles, soft available light, linear clarity, textures in concrete and stone, Berlin based Von Rauch is a current inspiration for much of the architectural work including the Get Carter and Pasmore series’. She: “seeks out places and buildings, which in her photographs seem at once strange and familiar. Using an analog camera and the most diffuse, natural light possible, she creates images of mysterious abstraction. In her intensive photographic exploration of architecture, she has developed a very personal visual language, reacting differently to each new place, but always managing to retain her unmistakable approach.” More of Andre Lepik’s erudite expose of her techniques on a PDF here.
How on earth does one get the likes of a brilliant Director of MoMA to review one’s work? Serious question.
Part of a new category for this site, which is in desperate need of reorganisation, as the beginning of assembling some maturity here. Not that there won’t also be some occasional fun and games, but it’s time to get serious, too.
