Born and brought up in Bucharest, Anton Roland Laub lives and works in Berlin. He received an MA degree from the weißensee art academy in Berlin, having previously completed his studies at the New School for Photography, Berlin. His recent monographs, both published by Kehrer Verlag, Heidelberg, address the contemporary history of Romania, as well as the legacy of the dictatorship. LAST CHRISTMAS (of Ceaușescu) poses questions about the justice discourse and the institutional memory of the Romanian Revolution three decades later. The work was longlisted for the German Photo Book Prize and shortlisted for the Photo-Book Award at the Belfast Photo Festival. Mobile Churches analyzes dictatorial fantasies that became urban realities in Bucharest of the 1980s. The eponymous solo show was nominated for the New Discovery Award during the 49th edition of the International Photography Festival Les Rencontres d’Arles. Laub was a finalist for the Dummy Book Award at the Unseen Photography Festival in Amsterdam and Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles. The resulting photo book was selected for the FOLA Photobook Award in Buenos Aires and was part of the PhotoBookAthens exhibition at the Benaki Museum during the European Month of Photography, Athens. Currently, he is preparing the last publication of his trilogy, supported by the Visual Arts Research Stipend of the Senate Department for Culture and Europe, Berlin, and the Publication Grant of the Stiftung Kulturwerk, Bonn. Addressing the division of society and the unspoken trauma of physical violence, MINERIADA raises awareness for recursive events, in a world that is becoming increasingly polarized again.
