About

Why this artist matters now

Michal Rovner creates video and photographic works that move between landscape and abstraction, examining displacement, identity, and human vulnerability through layered imagery and fragmented forms. Her practice oscillates between the intimate and the geopolitical, often situating individual bodies within vast or destabilized environments.
