details about this work


Molly Rooke is based in London


The notion of the Tourist and the Site encapsulate my practice. Through varying degrees of appropriation and intervention, my work circulates around the concept of challenging the tourist, and manipulating the locations they inhabit. This is examined through the creation of false or altered information, and the presentation of objects that disorientates the viewer’s relationship between interaction and observation.
