In movement, man flees from time, tries to hold on to it, to overcome it, but also to change it. Corinna Rosteck's search is for images that make these »unsettling« realities tangible. In her photo and video installations, she questions localization, change and dissolution, the place of dream and reality.

The fleeting subjects of »water« and »dance« form the starting point for her works. She focuses on the blurring and distortion of liquid elements and bodies in motion. The aim is to make structures and orders visible that are otherwise hidden. The focus is on the transition, the dynamic, always endangered balance, worked out through multiple exposures and cross-fades for an expanded perception and transformation of time.

Accompanying productions by renowned dance ensembles and in dialog with solo dancers and musicians, she develops her works by means of her own performances and installations, in which moving images are projected onto the dancers and merge into a total work of art in the interplay of light, space and music.

What moves humans? In a globalized, networked and mobile, Janus-faced world, the focus is on people, their desires and fears in the present moment.

Corinna Rosteck, born in 1968, grew up in Hamelin and Ibiza, is a freelance artist in the fields of photography, video art and installation. Since her studies in Berlin with (Professor K. Gonschior / Color Space Painting) and her master student diploma with Prof. Katharina Sieverding (Photomedia), she has been developing a painterly-informed photography since the mid-1990s, which uses experimental printing processes on reflective materials and surfaces to create unique objects using light technology.

Supported by prestigious scholarships and study visits, she intensified her artistic exploration in New York at the International Center of Photography, in London at Central St. Martin's College of Art & Design and at the Cinemathèque de Paris, in search of »other realities«, images that create unsettling, constructed realities.

She is a member of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie, Cologne and the Deutscher Künstlerbund. Rosteck has realized various video installations for performances by contemporary ensembles and musicians and art-in-architecture projects for well-known companies.
