"Ocean Of Images" has been shown in RBW soloshow "Space-Image", at Atelier Martel Architecture in 2023.
Press-release extract by curator Clara Ruestshmann:
“Over decades of urban perambulation and photography, RBW has established a unique practice of image collection that serves as a vast dataset to create photomontages. Here, images are assembled, composed and intricated with one another. If individually each image belongs to specific sites, together they generate a new space. By decontextualizing the image, the question is not to know where each image has been taken, but what kind of other referential reality is thus generated.“
“The artist’s photo-montages oscillate between the real and the fake, according to the placement, distortion, and manipulation she processes on images: real and fake spaces, real and fake stories entangle to become one. In fact, is the digital world where these images transit and exist, less real than the material world that they come from?”
