Toccata is an abstract colour photogram that is an image produced without a camera and created by placing objects directly onto photographic paper which is then exposed to light. This innovative technique has been around since the dawn of photography but gained popularity in the 1920s. Inside Neumaier’s photograms colourful shapes often resemble origami objects as she plays with distortion and dimensionality.
