In her lake prints Eva-Maria Raab generates vestiges and poetic sculptures. She includes lake water in her cyanotypes, thus preserving this rare and precious resource. She thus uses a chemical process to highlight the societal challenge that access to water is.

In my series "river prints" I blur water from the Danube and views of the same river. When I combine river water with photo chemistry in a painterly manner, it is also an attempt to capture threatened waters – both physically and poetically. Abstract and at the same time concrete images arise, capturing the essence of the river in its movement. river print n°9 cyanotype on watercolor paper with traces of danube river water (chemigram).

river print n°4

A wave of water that starts moving, an ear of grain that moves in the wind, nothing and yet part of the sum of our existence. The present of the past directly inscribed on light-sensitive paper and framed. I capture the fleeting and use photography to ask questions about the nature of nature and its transience. My photographic experiments capture the soul of nature directly and purely.

cameraless photography of driftwood
-
In my series drifting I create photographic relics, where I prepare light sensitive paper with water from the Danube river and expose driftwood on it. I am fascinated by the well-travelled wood that was carried and shaped by the movements of the river. Wood that sometimes looks like human bones, has allowed itself to be carried along by the current of the river and has truly ventured to unknown shores. For me it stands for the human being, which is in constant motion in the sense of Heraclitus and "panta rhei" (Greek: everything flows).

LIQUID LAND

Make a tour and discover some of my works in my virtual exhibition. By walking trough the space, you can get an impression of some majeur artworks of the last five years. Have a look at my "live prints" of corn fields or vineyards (2020), my "river prints" and "lake prints", "driftings" and "photographic bodyscapes".

---
A gust of wind that sets the ears of corn in the field in motion, a slowly melting drop of ice – nothing and yet part of the sum of our existence. . Since 2015, Eva-Maria Raab has been exploring elementary questions about the creation of an image and the possibility of capturing ephemeral phenomena using the photographic printing process of cyanotype. She experiments with negative and positive, light and shadow, the visible and the invisible - challenging us to see the familiar in a new light. Raab‘s works can be read as a reference to the existence of the objects where everyhing flows.
