Life

Study and television

Peter Raba, son of the violinist Jost Raba (1900–2000), studied German , theater studies , psychology and anthropology in Munich from 1957 to 1962 . From 1963 to 1968 he worked as an editor and director for the educational program of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation BR-3 .

photography

Even when he was working on television, Raba pursued his own artistic path. In the summer of 1968, the Munich City Museum showed its large-scale photo exhibition Eva & Er . This exhibition made Raba a sought-after photographer and worked full-time in the sector of fashion and advertising photography as well as cover design until 1975.

homeopathy

Due to an illness of his own, Raba began to research the possibilities of classical homeopathy in 1974. In 1976 he passed the alternative practitioner examination and has been practicing in his own practice ever since.

Create

photography

When designing the covers of magazines in the 1960s and 70s, photographers faced the challenge of presenting complex topics without digital image processing. Raba developed a special type of double exposure on one and the same negative or slide, which he assigned the term PAN optics. The working method of merging different picture elements into an iconographic ideogram with a new meaning goes back to Peter Raba.

homeopathy

Raba held seminars and training courses on classical homeopathy and dream work (based on the psychology of CG Jung and gestalt therapy approaches by Fritz Perls ) in Germany for 30 years . He finished teaching at the age of 75. In his publications he addresses specialist groups and interested laypeople. He developed a 52-page questionnaire on the homeopathic anamnesis with 700 individual questions and patient information as a working tool. Raba sees himself as a "soul cryptologist and causal therapist and classical homeopathy as a highly artistic method".

"From working with the outer images of this world, Raba found the way to the inner images of the soul, in a holistic view of life." Raba's publications are mostly richly illustrated. He uses the possibilities of photography to express topics in homeopathy and psychology in pictures. An example of this is the tiger lady (a double exposure: half woman's head, half tiger's head) as a symbol for the hidden dark side of people.
