Berlin-based photographer Friederike von Rauch specializes in architecture. She seeks out special 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.nnIn 2006-07, the Vlaams-Nederlands Huis deBuren awarded von Rauch a grant as their artist in residence in the cities of Brussels and Rotterdam. This led to the development of a photographic project, including Berlin as a third city, which will be exhibited in all three locations.
