Museum im Herrenhaus

40.000 analogue photographs by agricultural journalist Hans Haase were taken between 1925 and 1982. Haase documented the advancing technologization of agriculture in Germany by photographing agricultural machinery, working methods and farming practices.



Roman Roth transforms these extensive analog photographs into an immersive, multi-layered video installation. The several-metre-wide projection unfolds as a visual choreography of digitized negatives, superimposed image layers and sharpened individual images.

Through the serial repetition of similar motifs - silos, agricultural technology, field workers - and subtle parallax movements, a unique visual dynamic of structure and texture becomes visible. The work oscillates between documentary legibility and abstract imagery.


Roth reflects on the process of viewing, sorting, digitizing and archiving by the museum and the artist himself. The work thus addresses the tension between structure and content, between memory and order.


The installation invites visitors to move through the space and explore the multi-layered relationship between image, technology and history.
