Visual reconstructions that, like a distant echo, cast the fading memory of the sublime peak, the rustic mountain village, the overwhelming rock face dimly onto the wall. Sculpture as a process of image making. Roos van Haaften's works seem to be descendants of Arte Povera, which seek to rebuild a sinking world via the reuse of the cheapest material. With luminous windows behind which we glimpse our own soulscapes, while at the same time we perceive the artist's mastery of craftsmanship and her transparent shadow play. In her works, she addresses the illusion that photography creates: on the one hand, its ability to designate a concrete place at a specific time, its capacity to both inform and emotionally touch. On the other hand, her projections lead us inward, to where all images originate.
