Zara Pfeifer

In July 2022 and January 2023, Zara Pfeifer documented the replacement of the 8.000 m2 football pitch at Olympic stadium in Berlin. The sod to cover the pitch and the necessary working machines need 30 trucks and are transported over 600 km from Slovakia to Berlin. Rollrasen is a series of photographs and video sequences in which Pfeifer shows the process of removal, preparation, replacement and recycling of the grass in what appears as a commentary on our globally networked economy in all of its physical consequences.
