Nina Röder

The series “A little deeper than you thought” shows a poetic photographic collection which deals with different aspects of the uncanny and unconscious, forms of death, absurd biological phenomena and an ambivalent image of the body. It has been realised in the spare landscapes of Iceland, Ireland and the German Harz region. The physical interaction of Roeders’s figures with the natural environment presents a performance and is inscribed in the photographs as an act of occupation. Her images show a space in between, wherefore narrations and actions are indicated, but are never completely legible. In their ambiguity – the photographs reveal a certain kind of poetry and mystery.
