KINO

Ricarda Roggan, an artist and passionate cineaste, frequently went to the cinema between 1994 and 1999 to photograph American films. She assigned her pictures to different categories: landscape, car, street, disaster, hotel. Her photos of America tell of a land of longing, of the hunger for images and the analogue possibilities of a pre-digital age as well as of the pleasure of watching explosions in half-empty cinemas at night. Kino shows a selection of her pictures shot on high-sensitivity 35 mm film. The book is published with the help of funding from the Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen.
