Born in 1968, German artist and photographer Claudia Rogge has an obsession for crowds made up of practically identical people, all dressed in the same way and holding the same pose to create a unique mass identity. 

He constructs both fascinating and disturbing scenarios that always contain three elements: individualism, reproducibility and mass.

 

 

 

 

The result is a balance between expressive rigidness and corporeal actions, a play of full and empty concepts that regale the viewer’s imagination with sensations of tension, action and a special dose of mystery.

These are works that set out to lend a mass an aesthetic quality to the idea of mass – no longer an indistinct and homogenous element but one made up of minuscule differences that need to be sought out carefully in each single photograph.
