He explored every medium and type of art, combining painting, sculpture, printing, photography, videos and sound in all-encompassing works. Fascinated by the transformation, Roth used a vast array of materials and objects such as utensils, furnishings, monitors, and food in a process that revealed the constant mutability of the work. Roth's artistic vision, which includes knowledge and action, experience and manual skills in performative works, was fully illustrated in the exhibition "Islands" at HangarBicocca, in Milan-the 4500 square meters of exhibition space devoted to the display have been turned into a workshop, a craftsman's studio where the "Roth dynasty" has continued to hand down ways of creating art in the making.
