The imprints in turn depict stamps, so that the artistic medium becomes an important content of the image. In the early 1960s, Roth produced his first stamp pictures ?? and since then has always taken up the subject. In his works, Roth experimented with variability in various media, showing particular influences of the Fluxus movement, the Constructivism, the Nouveau Realists and the Dada movement.
