NINA RAASCH
Morocco street #3 2017
31" x 25" (80 x 64 cm) digital photograph. printed on matt paper, 150g/m2. unframed
Deserted architecture, quiet and empty scenes of Moroccan villages, two women, and a child in long dresses walking through the streets — isolated individuals, separated from their surroundings by big black shadows of the evening sun. Shapes of desert flowers that are broken but put together in a new shape, making their appearance look even stronger, captured on solar paper, produced in the middle of the Moroccan desert.
Artist is influenced by Vivian Sassen
Nina Raasch (1991) is a German photographer, based between Berlin & London. She graduated photography major from the Lette-Verein in Berlin. Getting her inspiration through travels resulted in Nina living in New Zealand for half a year, after which she found herself wondering through jungles of Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Laos, Indonesia, and Japan. Her work is mostly inspired by personal topics and impressions. It reaches from portraits to landscape photography while focussing on what's behind the surface and trying to create certain emotional moods. She mainly works with an analog medium format camera. Her photographs have been shown at places such as "C/O Berlin Foundation" and " Werkraum Bild und Sinn" in Berlin.
