Rothens world is a world full of imagination and phantasies with mysteries hiding a dark truth. In her earlier work men were only present outside the pictures, at most as observers or voyeurs. In her latest work, "Mail Order," which is being shown in Zurich, men are integrated into the pictures as dolls, a staged seemingly perfect world that is eerie and irritating. Since 2007, her work has been shown in galleries in Paris, Sydney, Istanbul, London and at Steven Kasher in New York. It was also presented at Paris Photo, and at the Harleyville Arts Center in May, 2019."'
And-
"Canadian-born photographer Marianna Rothen spent her formative years working as a model in the fashion industry, which in turn shaped her approach as a photographer. Her work reflects a strong interest in female characters, who are often portrayed in a nostalgic manner. In ‘Mail Order’, Rothen herself is the sultry, sexy subject – an archetype inspired by the silver screen. With a collection of male mannequins, she takes part in a dystopic scenography informed by real-life anxieties around gender and patriarchy, played out against a backdrop worn interiors and natural surroundings. The series has overtones of mystery and disillusion that become part of a larger narrative."
