Based in Lincoln, Nebraska 


Ratzlaff’s particular obsession with trains and time—and the point at which these phenomena collide—informs his current artistic research on time, vision, and modernity. Working primarily in photography and book art, his work considers how modern perceptions of time, history, and technological progress are imposed on the human condition and, in turn, continuously shape consciousness. 

He lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he operates a small imprint, The Basement Window, making small-edition artist books and boxes. He received an MFA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Nebraska Wesleyan University.

He has had the pleasure of working with publications such as; The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR,  Newsweek, Bloomberg Businessweek, FT Weekend, Vanity Fair, Newsweek, Der Spiegel, Inc. Magazine, VICE, 5280 Magazine, ESPN, andThe Financial Times among others.
