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."
