Synopsis
By repeatedly re-photographing her images, transferring them from video to film and back again, and manipulating them digitally, Michal Rovner creates photographic and video imagery that abstract familiar subjects like houses, animals, and people into ambiguous and iconic forms. Working with representation but against the traditions of narrative and documentary purpose, her artworks imply a tentative universe, one that is paradoxically peaceful and unsettled, vivid and shrouded, and completely counter-factual. If the changing nature of art has resulted in a general blurring of boundaries--between painting and photography, reality and memory, presence and absence--Rovner mines this haziness, refuses to respect borders, and exists completely in The Space Between.

Synopsis
Rovner's work states many of the issues and questions about the changing nature of art, and about boundaries that have become increasingly blurred: boundaries between painting and photography, between reality and memory, presence and absence. Using the latest in technology - but still in a profound search into the mark, the sign, and always on the edge - Rovner's work refashions the photographic and video text. "While recording, I am interested in removing identifying details. Instead of bringing up what signifies or separates this from that, I am in search of a common denominator beyond specific identity, specific time, specific place."
