Galerie Burster

In her work, Nina Roder alienates modern individuals from their natural preconditions and social conditions, reflecting on the longing for family, home and security.
Against the backdrop of Icelandic nature, Nina Röder reveals herself not only as a sensitive observer of her environment, to whom reflected concepts and technical perfection in execution are important, but also as an expert in theatrical means that are incorporated into her art in the form of staged settings and performative strategies.

In the age of the Anthropocene, the Icelandic landscape reveals itself as a seismograph for climate change and global warming. Nina Röder confronts the longing for untouched places with associative arrangements of self-portraits, landscapes and still lifes.

Nina Laaf deals with strategies of irritation, alienation, as well as context shifting, and investigates material textures and their limits. Her latest works are characterised by a play between presence and absence and the question of what constitutes the actual, the essential, the original in colour and form.
