Prisoners

Rosa Mundi

“We all find ourselves occasionally in a cage. The cage of the soul, which is
not just the body, but the way we see the world. As an artist, I try to unveil
this perspective, I try to open it up, to explode it, implode it [...]”
Prisoners
In her work Prisoners, Rosa Mundi explores the concept of cultural relativism through the symbolic use of spectacles. The lenses represent the personal filter through which each individual observes the world, influenced by their own experiences and culture. A gold leaf on the frame symbolises the beauty of different perspectives, highlighting the value of free thinking and the importance of the coexistence of opinions.
Rosa Mundi
Italy
Rosa Mundi is an artist whose pseudonym hides her true origins. With over twenty years of experience in art and photography, she transforms everyday moments and environmental phenomena into powerful artistic expressions. Her work is inspired by her travels, her love of cats, and a deep interest in esotericism.
Rosa Mundi attended courses in Painting, Sculpture, Choreography and Art History at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg, and the École Martenot in Paris.
Personal work
She has developed a unique visual language, developing numerous techniques in which three-dimensionality or mere two-dimensionality is not achieved through photographic or computerised techniques, but through the search for infinite space within the work. Her pieces are designed in close dialogue with the spaces they inhabit. Evoking the notion of a 'non-place', her art reflects philosophical thought through the materiality and transparency of glass, without ever succumbing to mere conceptualism. Rosa Mundi looks at philosophy, decoding it into reflected images that intersect and embrace one another. Her work ranges from photography to video and installations, using materials such as glass, fabric, iron, and wood.
