Rosanna Graf

Ordinary Women – Carrier Bags of Friction

Exhibition film

2023

Curated by Anna Nowak

The enigmatic worlds that Rosanna Graf creates in her works always hold the potential to cause a sense of unease. In her artistic work, she explores collective fantasies and combines old and new myths into speculative fictions. Feminist, non-human and grotesque characters take centre stage as projection figures. In a surreal state of limbo detached from space and time, these marginalized figures fight against being stereotyped. For the exhibition space of the Kunsthaus, the artist produced a large-scale 4-channel video installation entitled Ordinary Women – Carrier Bags of Friction. Female rage is the key element underlying this new body of work which, based on numerous references to film, literature and media, succeeds in deconstructing long-established role models.

Rosanna Graf (*1988, Munich) studied Fine Arts at HFBK Hamburg and Goldsmiths, University of London. Selected exhibitions of her work include Kunstraum Kreuzberg, Berlin (2020); Deichtorhallen Hamburg / Sammlung Falckenberg (2019); Kunsthaus Hamburg (2019); annual editions of Kunstverein Munich (2017) and Galerie Conradi, Hamburg (2016). She is part of the performance collective DOLLHOUSES.
