Rainer Hosch, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A high-angle photograph displays a large black poster resting on a pale, tufted cushioned surface. The poster features a stark black background upon which numerous small black-and-white photographic portraits are arranged to form the distinct keys and layout of a QWERTY computer keyboard. The individual portrait cells vary slightly in content and orientation, creating a mosaic effect that mimics mechanical keys, spacebars, and function rows. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the matte texture of the poster print and the quilted fabric underneath. Shot by photographer Rainer Hosch, this conceptual piece merges graphic typography with portraiture.
