Rosa Meininger (major photography)

My research serves as visual and textual exploration of the foundation and early development of a new technological religious movement/cult. Furthermore I used this minor to hack my own working methods and step out of my comfort zone to try new things.

I wanted to gain insight into recent developments concerning technological developments and religious movements, by making playful connections between traditional and contemporary rituals and customs, in order to contribute to the discussion about the relationship between man and technology. With this fictional ‘what if’ photo series I want to make my thoughts tangible and put the emphasis on our relationship with the technology we increasingly rely on and often treat as almost 'holy'.

I want to highlight the human aspect of this and let the viewers make their own connections, this is why I chose a more associative approach for the series.
