Sifting through the hundreds of hours of film and video Rogers left behind, Olch weaves a stirring portrait of an artist and his creative process. In our site, we wanted to match the beauty of that portrait while capturing the difficulty and ambiguity inherent in the process.

While giving a taste of the beautiful illustrations, we wanted to capture the sense that, at times, it’s difficult to know just who’s in your head.

Already a master of color and composition, we tried to let stills from the films speak for themselves.

For the site, we wanted to play with the idea of what consequences a lie, even one from deep in the past, can have on one’s life. Check out the site…and see the film too.

All may not be as it seems though as she struggles to make sense of the events. Our site tries to make sense of it as well only to be mired in a cacophony of it’s own recounting.

Well, naturally, you pretend like it never happened. Funny and beautiful, this film immaculately captures the ephemera of life in communist East Germany, even as it’s disappearing. Our site happily jumps into this world, playing along with the charade.
