Travis Rooz茅e is a Chicago-based photographer and artist. His personal work scrutinizes the built environment as it relates to consumerism, industrial practices, and material decay, and his most recent work merges photographic chemistry with virtually generated and real-world fabrications. He received a BA in Photography from Columbia College Chicago in 1993, the era of Photoshop 1.0, and his MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2010, the year Instagram launched. These transformative events serve as crucial entry points into his artistic practice.
This solo exhibition, Normality Always Ends, presents a meaningful retrospective of Rooz茅e鈥檚 development as an artist. The exhibition title, derived from Eliezer Yudkowsky鈥檚 book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, demonstrates how a shift in biology or technological norms can be overwritten, thus shifting perceived standards. This framework has heavily informed the work produced in this exhibition; upcycling material for still life is a direct response to overabundance and accessibility. Rooz茅e鈥檚 creations illustrate that there is vitality in everything, and one can collect and curate by simply walking.
