Alexander Rosol: "Space Shifter"
A recurring theme in Alexander Rosol's work is the depiction of architectural and urban pictorial spaces, which create visual disturbances through the deliberate staging of irregularities, contrasts or disharmonies. In a multi-layered process of analysis and deconstruction of existing urban and spatial structures, complex, multi-layered spatial compositions are formed through a multitude of photographic fragments. By breaking up conventional concepts of space and playing with perspectives, imaginative scenarios are created. The installation encourages the viewer to explore the spatial structure in different ways depending on their point of view.
Layer by layer - urban visual spaces
Alexander Rosol is from Regensburg and the artist behind the glass cube that has been touring the city districts for a year as donumenta ART LAB on the Move. Rosol works with layers of architectural fragments. - donumenta e.V. is showing his work from May 2 to July 26, 2025 in Aussiger Straße/bus stop line 1.
According to the concept of donumenta e.V., Alexander Rosol's work relates to its surroundings. “We choose the place where an artist's work is best shown to its best advantage, creates a focal point and can stimulate conversation,” says Regina Hellwig-Schmid, artistic director of donumenta e.V.
Creating for dialog
The aim of donumenta e.V. is to bring art to the people. At ART LAB on the Move, the association invites people to a dialog every second Saturday (03.05. / 17.05. / 31.05. / 14.06. / 28.06. / 12.07. / 26.07.) between 11.00 am and 1.00 pm.
Different from every perspective
A recurring motif in Alexander Rosol's work is the depiction of architectural and urban pictorial spaces. He creates visual disturbances through irregularities, contrasts and distortions. By playing with perspectives, superimpositions, distortions and/or the breaking of symmetries, Alexander Rosol creates great tension. The installation challenges the viewer to rediscover the spatial structure depending on the viewing angle.
Imaginative scenarios
Alexander Rosol's working process begins with his own photographs of urban or industrial formations. By means of digital image montage and the superimposition of a large number of different image fragments, complex compositions are created that reveal imaginative scenarios.
Acrylic glass in a luminous cube
The deliberate refraction of perspective merges different angles and levels. “This creates a kind of visual disruptive impulse that challenges the viewer to explore and interpret the space anew,” says Alexander Rosol about his work.
Rosol repeatedly arranges his stacked acrylic glass panels in light boxes. The donumenta ART LAB on the Move enables the artist to compose his work in an oversized light box. The elements he uses promise interesting perspectives into and through the cube.

ART LAB on the Move continues!
The donumenta ART LAB on the Move moves on to the Konradsiedlung! The donumenta ART LAB on the Move is an oversized light box for Alexander Rosol's layers of photographed architectural fragments. With his work “Space Shifter”, the artist plays on the glass cube, which has been touring Regensburg's districts as donumenta ART LAB on the Move for a year now.
