(03)Process
01 / 04
01
On location
Every series starts in the city itself. Sandra Rauch researches and photographs – neon advertising, lettering, facades.
02
Composition
In the studio the material is rearranged: space, perspective and typography condense into tightly structured images.
03
Acrylic & light
Often acrylic glass instead of canvas – with layers of imagery on front and back. Digital photography meets mechanical light.
04
In the room
What counts in the end is the effect: colour and light that change a room.
