Venice Biennale, 2024 - Zimbabwe Pavilion "Undone"
Acrylic Paint and Medium on paper 600 x 200 cm - 2024
Venice Biennale 2024 - Zimbabwe Pavilion ‘Undone’ - 20 April - 24 November 2024
The 4 individual works on paper, namely ‘Heritage is a Pattern’, ‘Interfering Memories’, ‘Mapping Memories’ and ‘Yesterday Aligns Tomorrow’ represent a process, where Rosselli brings into conversation patterns from different contrasting worlds, finding a way to bridge their diverse landscapes in an evolutionary journey of dialectical discussions.
The back of the works on the room divider is in neutral graphics / charcoal, it references neutrality and the fact that nothing in this world is black & white. In the works one reads a progression of some sort, perhaps a show and sense of where the direction the artist is taking to reach the pluriversal world. In the end, there is a synergy between the long gone and the now.
