Unique collector's edition of the book 'Roots & Bonds'. The embossed linnen box in the size of 34 x 26 cm includes the book no. 250, an original painted print in the size 30 x 24 cm and found objects (feathers, snail shells, moss and a bird's nest with egg). The work in the book 'Roots & Bonds' was originally inspired by one particular tree in the winter forest that caught Regina Anzenberger's eye during one of her walks with her dog Shakeera. She kept returning there over an entire year and photographed the tree through every season. What especially fascinated her were the vines which elegantly wound themselves down to the ground from a branch, creating an image of endless bonds. With the forest as a source of inspiration and energy for all creativity, the roots and bonds became her theme.

In Roots & Bonds, Regina Anzenberger has given us what might be termed the psychological landscape – comfortingly familiar yet also edgy, distinctly uncomfortable but distinctly interesting. Gerry Badger in 1000 Words Magazine 3/2016

Anzenberger’s delicate sequencing of her works shows her imaginative way of looking at nature, bringing together her experience as a painter and phtoographer. ... Roots & Bonds is a testament to how inspiration can be drawn from the simplest of things, and that the same place or object can keep on giving, if only you, as an artist, will allow it to inspire you. Rachel Moron in GUP magazine 5/2016

Indem das Auge den Schwingungen der Linienläufe folgt, abtastend frei über das Wirrwarr gleitet, bald überfordert, jedem Einzelnen zu folgen, tritt Entspannung ein. Rita Newman für morgen 6/16

Die Wiener Künstlerin Regina Anzenberger verfiel den Formen und Verbindungen eines bestimmten Baumes. Fortan fotografiert sie ein Jahr lang immer wieder im Wald – und zeigt in ihren Fotos auch die Kraft menschlicher Beziehungen. Camerawoman 11/15
