Perhaps it is best to describe Ralf Jacobs as a photographer. He ‘writes with light’ in a wonderful spectrum of old and new techniques, from 19th-century cyanotypes to software-guided laser projections. Combining different photographic procedures and images, he creates new realities that incorporate

Laser Cyanotype Harmonograms

A laser can trace the harmonographic image on chemically treated paper to create a cyanotype, a photographic printing process also known as blueprint, discovered in 1842 by Sir John Herschel. Jacobs uses this vintage process also to transfer conventional photographs to the characteristic cyan hue, saturating the image with a melancholy passage of time.

About Ralf Jacobs

The Fashion Tech Farm is initiated by Marina Toeters and Matthijs Vertooren. Based on more than 13 years of experience in Fashion Tech with the company by-wire.net we felt it became time to upscale our activities and move towards the high tech region: Eindhoven! As the Farm is big enough it became a multi-company building for companies in Fashion Tech.
