Landscape becomes stage, 2024
Photography: Print on canvas, mounting foam, 90 x 90 x 5 cm
Sculpture Herbarium: Stainless steel, photography on filament print, LEDs, 110 x 110 x 110 cm
Laura Roth’s "Landscape Becomes Stage" examines human interventions in nature and the staging of landscapes. It questions our perceptions of "nature," revealing it as a construct shaped by human imagination and needs. From replica forests to artificial seas and plastic horizons, her photographs depict designed environments, evoking a world of staged realities reminiscent of The Truman Show. Roth pairs this with a stainless steel herbarium containing preserved landscapes, reflecting on the memories and stories tied to these spaces.
