Rogge is “increasingly fascinated by the concept of the mass—by parades, choirs, refugees, concertgoers, rallies, football fans, exiles“.
Claudia Rogge is a contemporary German artist known for her large-scale digital collage photographs. Elaborated from images of ballerinas, nude revellers and masked dancers set against ambiguous or sublime backgrounds, Rogge conjures strange theatrical scenes based on the Sistine Chapel. In her exhibition Ever After (2011), she directly quotes the regions of paradise, purgatory and hellish inferno from Dante Alighieri's Divine Commedia.
The artist has said of her work that she is “increasingly fascinated by the concept of the mass—by parades, choirs, refugees, concertgoers, rallies, football fans, exiles.”
