Finding the essence of spaces
Whether in museums, palaces, monasteries or industrial buildings, photographer Friederike von Rauch explores the essence of spaces. Her tranquil, often minimalist photographs reveal unusual glimpses of exceptional places. Light, fog, smoke and water give the observer an obstructed view of the architecture and atmosphere of the moment. Industrial architecture is transformed into a contemplative space of light and shadow. The resulting images show timeless rooms that evoke sublime theatrically illuminated stages.
Our EEW Art Booklet features a selection of the works created and shares insights into how they came to life.
