“The staged photographs in Marianna Rothen’s series, Making It Real, 2020, recall early feminist send-ups of femininity, from the campy performance works of Womanhouse to Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills. Alternating between the look of 1970s-era amateur porn and surrealist still life, the work revels in its artifice.” Jane Ursula Harris

Self portraits with excerpts from Marianna’s teenage diary ages 12-16.
