He works primarily in collage, printmaking, and independent publishing, and privileges hands-on, analog approaches and techniques. Tecnocreto brings together Rattke’s many interests: industrial construction processes, commercial graphic design, and the idea of Mexico City as a place of exile and refuge. In this book, Rattke assembles an argument for the poetic and transformational potential of art when it is understood as a form of healing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"color: rgb(149, 216, 0);\"\u003eHis book projects include \u003cem\u003eMechanical Fantasy Box, The Homoerotic Journal of Patrick Cowley\u003c\/em\u003e (2019), \u003cem\u003eSan Francisco Reverberation\u003c\/em\u003e (2018) and \u003cem\u003ePatterns and Perspectives\u003c\/em\u003e (2017) for Visible Publications, and \u003cem\u003eEdgewise: A Picture of Cookie Mueller\u003c\/em\u003e (2014) with Chloe Griffin.
