About the work
Playground # 7 is part of a series consisting of 12 large format Lambda Prints. In this photo cycle, Olaf Rauh explored places of the game. He circles them with media of the digital age and shows them as an interface between social and virtual reality. The series was created in fall 2001 in the Lower East Side of New York City. Content information is reduced and formed into simple architectural models. He worked with a special Lambda high-gloss film that makes the surface of the picture solidify as if under a layer of plastic.
