Mechanism

In ‘Mechanism’ Rovner returns to her unique, abstracted language, which consists of duplicated patterns of human movements. Miniature human figures rotate like a cogwheel, becoming part of a large mechanism. Repetitive movements become wilder over time. The lines, structures and patterns change more rapidly and recall a sense of urgency and warning that permeates our world. In her projects Rovner speaks about the impossibility of the individual retaining a separate existence. As the artist notes, ‘We, ourselves are becoming almost like microchips in a big system, a mechanism of the future.’.
