Before photography became Ernestine Ruben’s main interest, completely different areas of art, especially dance and sculpture, shaped her life and work. Her photographic work shows clear traces of this. By means of reduction and minimalization, Ernestine Ruben finds her individual form of expression, which ranges from simple representation to total abstraction. Often only a second glance is able to unravel her composition of forms, her play with light and shadow of movement and counter-movement, of the human and the natural. Her work has been exhibited and collected extensively in Europe and Asia as well as the United States.
