Romina Ressia

Info

Romina Ressia is playing with the anachronism and confronts modern issues in a unique way. She uses irony to underline her extraordinary work. With her images, she is moving between a fine line of two elements. However, she does that without losing the balance of a great image. 

Her characters in front of the camera, presented with subtle gestures in a formal atmosphere and in dark clothes, take the observer several centuries back. Whilst at the same time, the favored contemporary props bring the observer immediately back to 21st century.

The result? A captivating image that could not be more exclusive and cannot be classified into the past, the present nor the future – but into all of them at the same time.

The exhibition “PAST PAST FUTURE PAST PRESENT FUTURE FUTURE PRESENT PAST” invites people to reflect about their ideals, attitudes, and values. It also summons the observer to question modern society’s behavior and happenings. Romina Ressia’s best ideas come from real life. Mostly all of her results come from personal questions she asks herself about humanity.

ABOUT ROMINA RESSIA:

Romina Ressia was born in 1981 in Argentina, in a small town close to Buenos Aires. When she was a young child, she saw a replica of “Las Meninas” by the baroque painter Diego Velázquez for the first time. She remembers still to this day, that this painting was the first work of art that captivated her strongly. She couldn’t get it out of her mind and was obsessed with the authenticity and the people portrayed in the painting.

Her passion about art started at young age, but it was not until her late 20s, after graduating in Economics, that she decided to dedicate her life to Photography. Romina Resssia studied Photography, Fashion Photography, Art Direction and Scenery in different places, including the prestigious “The Teatro Colón of Buenos Aires”.

Romina Ressia won „Photographer of the year“ by the International Color Awards 2017, among many other international prizes. She was selected as one of the 17 young women who are on their way to become worldwide influential figures by “The Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society” in 2016. This forum is one of the five most influential forums worldwide according to “The Financial Times”. Romina Ressia gained recognition in the Art world quickly.

There are clear hints to the Baroque and Italian Renaissance in Romina’s work. Despite that fact, she is still making it very clear, that the historical approach is used as a bridge that connects the observer to the past and the present. It is used to invite the observer to talk about the contemporary.
