...a swarm of body marks were projected in red light onto the dry floor of a stone well, and a pair of giant stones (Tablets, 2004), onto which photographic images were projected that could be viewed from a specially constructed balcony, were laid in a bed of sand. Here, as elsewhere in her work, Rovner distilled detail to essence, in this case neatly conflating linguistic "character" and human form. 

Visitors peering into the tiny Petri dishes could make out what appeared to be monochromic constellations, reminiscent of genetic coding. On closer inspection, these ‘gene-swarms’ emerged as minuscule people, forming and reforming patterns almost devoid of any human characteristics – even at the microscopic level.
