ricarda roggen

'...the performing furniture is sufficient and its mustiness is counteracted by the cold severity of the composition'
ricarda roggen's photography is extremely reminiscent of the work of sarah hobbs distinctively through the use of furniture and other such subjects in which to create an almost
obsessive cultivated 'scene'. much the same as hobbs, roggen's use of the furniture generates an absense thus initiating a 'void'. the fashion in which roggen has positioned the furniture and used the space only hightens the absence and emptyness felt by the lack of a subject. the compositon of the image creates an almost realistic scene, differentiating it from a simple photo of furniture and this again enforces the 'void' further.
