France
lives in Mexico City
Julia Rometti (France, 1975) lives in Mexico City, where she settled a few years ago after wandering through many different geographies.
This erratic period has defined the beginning of her artistic practices, during which she has been using flexible techniques like images (photography, film, collages), ready made or found objects, to approach non-western ontologies through fiction or speculation. During the last decade she has been developing a body of works in collaboration with Victor Costales around the questions of human / non human, nature and culture.
Being settled in Mexico, her practices opened to other techniques, working with the knowledge of craftsmanship like metal casters, palm weavers, or stone carvers. She extended her interests to the questions of naturecultures, materiality, conditions and agencies. Julia Rometti allows herself to be carried away by the dialogue she establishes with the materials and conditions she collaborates with, unfolding a cosmology that discovers in nature a space of political inscription.
She has been showing as Rometti Costales at Museo Jumex, Mexico; Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende, Santiago, Chile; Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo, Madrid, Spain; SAPS Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros, Mexico City, Mexico ; Centre d’art contemporain laSynagogue de Delme, France; Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland; Casa del Lago, Mexico City, Mexico; Midway Contemporary Art, Minneapolis, USA; and Appartement 22, Rabat, Morocco.
