Anne-Marie von Sarosdy

Anne-Marie von Sarosdy presents dramatic and emotionally charged photographs that idealize themes of homeland and Alpine folklore. Her images playfully embrace clichés of romance and nostalgia, with cherry-red lips, deep blue skies, lush green meadows, and contented cows. Boldly crafted with strategic perfection and emotional impact, they merge the dreamy longing of Romanticism with an awareness of the emptiness behind these iconic promises.

In their hyper-saturated reality, the works resemble surreal, weightless journeys through imagined, idealized landscapes that tap directly into our dreams. The juxtaposition of kitsch and naïveté is deliberate, enhanced by ornate, floral frames that heighten their sweetly evocative charm.
