Rackowe uses the mass-manufactured derivative products of that era – glass, corrugated plastics, concrete, scaffolding, breeze blocks, and strip lights – to recreate the collective experience and visual sensations of urban contemporary life. By decoding these experiences his works capture the chromatic sensations of desolate streets at dawn, the atmosphere as daylight fades into night, and the shadows created by obtrusive cranes, scaffolding, and skeletal buildings.
