Ralf Cohen (b. 1949, Solingen; lives and works in Karlsruhe) makes use of the entire material complex of photographic image production for his own creative purposes. He works exclusively with analog processes and explores the limits of the medium with a variety of experiments in the darkroom, altering his photographs through solarization, long-term exposure, light\/dark reversal, chromatic filtering, and further manual processing. This comprehensive volume presents Cohen\u2019s works, from the high-contrast black-and-white architectural photographs of the early period and the work groups of people in cities from the late 1980s to the latest photographic series with their enigmatic light effects, seemingly glowing planetary surfaces, hails of stars, and fantastical islands. Ralf Cohen\u2019s fascinating cosmos of imagery breaks viewing habits and, with his imaginary universes, opens up a new perception of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
