Bodylandscapes

Rosa Frank and Raimund Hoghe are inspired by a unique artistic friendship. Much more than merely documenting Hoghe’s work, Frank accompanies the choreographer and dancers from the outset of the creation of a new piece, photographing during rehearsals and staging. Through this proximity, Frank has developed a honed sensibility  to transform the images of Raimund Hoghe in an equally ingenious manner. Her contemplative pictures which arise from this encounter have a sculptural air, reflecting the long lasting artistic involvement of Raimund Hoghe with the non-conform body on stage.

Rosa Frank was born in Freiburg and studied informal art under Arnulf Rainer in Vienna. From the field of fine arts she progressed to photography. She is renowned for her portraits of well- known actors, singers, musicians, dancers and artists. She has been awarded the Akademiefreunde-Price Vienna, and was supported by scholarships from the Ministry of Science and Research Vienna, and by the Kulturwerk of VG Bild-Kunst in Germany.
